Yes. My son with a diagnosed disability in math (dyscalculia) made it all the way to Ap Calc BC.

Your kid is struggling and I’m sorry. I assume that these struggles are continuing despite one-on-one tutoring and possibly meds (because ADHD is so often part of the mix)?

I would encourage her to finish algebra and help her with it every night. Algebra is a basic requirement for college, if she doesn’t have it, she’ll close doors for herself.

Unless she is applying for competitive STEM courses, she will be fine.

Algebra is harder

I believe Algebra 2 is more challenging.

Which class is more challenging - the second year of 2 year Algebra or Financial Math? DD is in the process of making a decision. She really struggles in math.

Thanks.
