Honestly, the several O'Connell HS grads in my undergrad engineering program were very solid in Calculus, Tensors, and more advanced math. They were much better prepared in math than I was.

Allowed to take any level of math without testing into the class? Probably not many to be honest. Most private schools want the student to demonstrate mastery prior to advancing their instruction.

I assumed “allowed” simply meant the school has the capability to offer higher levels of math for advanced students, not that they plop Johnny who has just learned to multiply by 3 into precalculus because mommy wanted him there.

Why put words in OP's mouth?

You mean Edlin. No St.

Likely Thank you!

Congressional did a great job with math differentiation for my two kids and their classmates. Both my kids had classmates that were taking more advanced classes than geometry in 8th grade. One had classmates taking Precalc and the other had classmates taking Algebra 2. Their math teachers are excellent over there and the school makes sure the kids are getting the challenge they're ready for when it comes to math in particular.

Schools like Basis, Nysmith, or Ideaventions may allow greater acceleration, but the cost can be a certain loss of the typical school experience.

The best you’re going to get is up to geometry in 8th grade, which you may already have at your school.
