[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kid takes pre-calc as a senior can they get into a 50-100 school?[/quote]

Which ranking system? [/quote]

Definitely if their school doesn’t offer higher math than that. If there was a more challenging option available it would be a little harder I think. [/quote]

oh please. I went to a Title 1 HS that graduated 100 kids a year in the rural south. And I had access to AP Calc AB. Not 5 people took it. But it was offered. I don’t think a high school that didn’t even offer pre-Calc could maintain accreditation.

yes fairly certain all HS offer pre-calc/trig.  But there definately are schools that do not offer calculus---many are rural smaller schools.

OP - your child will be evaluated based on what their HS offers and what other applicant classmates have acheieved. Sure, some rural HS in the south may not offer calc - but if your HS is offering a full slate of math classes and others are getting to Calc (or beyond), then not taking pre-calc/trig seems like you are putting yourself at a disadvantage in admissions.[/quote]
