Pre-calculus? What do kids do at TJ if they've already gone this far in math?[/quote]
DC currently at TJ completed pre-calc in middle school, outside FCPS.  past precalc, TJ has four levels:  Calc AB, Calc BC, Multi/linear, elementary diff & applied math techniques [/quote]

And then retake them all in college.  Or major in humanities.[/quote]
stem majors take follow math courses in college.  retake only if student got a C or D.   Your comment is as ridiculous as suggesting, taking four years of any subject like English, science, etc, in HS would have to be mean tretaking those courses in college?[/quote]

I was a STEM (electrical engineering) major in college.  Those were most of the math classes I took, absent one or two others (placed out of Calc and started with diff eq - no college will place student out of that, they will retake it).  There's no reason to take them in high school, other than extreme acceleration and a need to take some sort of math class in high school.  [/quote]A few minutes of googling will show you that UIUC, NCSU, and ASU are just a few of the institutions which offer departmental challenge exams for math classes like differential equations. Furthermore, the number of institutions that will let you place out of these classes informally greatly outnumbers those with formal programs mentioned in their website.[/quote]
