This is misleading.  If your DS is math-centric, then taking the most challenging math classes will be the best route.  The Functions is the most challenging and fastest paced math route (of three possible) and allows the DS and two full years of advanced math electives.  The routes and math electives are shown here: https://mbhs.edu/departments/magnet/courses.php

If your DS is already fully challenged in other areas or has less than optimal work habits, then taking the functions route could be a mistake. 
If your DS is not 100% sure, take the summer camp and then let them confirm their decision that this is their best route.[/quote]

Yes, if your kid is going to be a math or engineering taking functions, even as pass/fail or audited, will give your kid more exposure to tough math so s/he will be more prepared come ENG or MATH department classes at college. If you don't need such higher level math for your desired major, go take a class that does help you. [/quote]
