If the student wants to be eligible for UC, Geometry needs to be taken in 7th grade,

Not true for any "UC" I've ever heard of. What UC are you talking about?

Even if so...

so it makes more sense to take Algebra 2 before.

No, that would be Algebra 1 before Geometry, not Algebra 2 before Geometry.

Being in the 90th percentile in a class is a good rule of thumb for getting most out of the instruction. I don’t really see the point of taking a class when you’re by far the best student in it and have already mastered the material inside out.

90th percentile on national norms is nowhere near "the best student in it"  in a wealthy suburban district, and neither is "have already mastered the material inside out" because the tests don't even try to test for that.

There a many options for later classes including computer science that count as math, DE, AP, even repeating classes if needed, graduating early if there’s enough credit etc.

OK you are definitely thinking about Algebra 2 not Algebra 1.

Disregarding your lame patronizing attitude, I know what class my child is taking.

Sounds like you’re too lazy or too dumb to do a simple google search, let me help you with that.

The part relevant to geometry:
A geometry course or an integrated math course with a sufficient amount of geometry content must be completed. Approved integrated math courses may be used to fulfill part or all of this requirement, as may math courses taken in the [b]seventh and eighth grades[/b] if the high school accepts them as equivalent to its own courses.

The consideration for the other posters is that for kids accelerated to Algebra 1 in 5th, they should check the UC eligibility if interested in applying in the future to Berkeley or UCLA. If a student completes Algebra 1 in 5th grade, it’s better they take geometry later than 6th to meet the UC eligibility requirements, otherwise they might need to repeat Geometry later on. This could mean doing Algebra 1 in 5th,  Algebra 2 in 6th, Geometry in 7th, Precalculus in 8th etc.

You’re free to decide on whatever criteria for your child’s classes, others can do the same for their own. [/quote]
