[quote=Anonymous]My oldest kid wasn't in AAP and wasn't in a school that offered accelerated math to non-AAP students (they since changed that policy). Started out in Math 7, but moved to Math 7 honors (with outside assistance for the skills he'd not been taught in ES), then Algebra 1 H in 8th, etc. Finished with AP Calc in 12th and is going to a T20 school (but not in a math related field). The one thing I would recommend considering is that once a kid hits Algebra 1, the grade follows you, so don't rush the math if your kid can't earn an A. It shouldn't be a big deal if a MS student gets a B in an accelerated class, AOs would say the same, but the facts are - if your kid is likely to earn As in HS, that B will pull down their GPA and for some colleges (looking at you UVA), being in the Top X% of your class GPA wise matters.
