My kid is still in ES but the schedules I have seen posted are pretty similar to my schedule in MS in the 1980's.

Sorry DC is in 7th so I probably shouldn’t even comment but I have to say, remember that a lot of smart kids are just going to do so much better with an intense schedule! Have faith.

Or don’t, you know your child best.

Algebra (which I expect to be hard for him)
Honors English, Science, Early US History
PE/Health
Chorus
Band

Skipping foreign language because he really wants a language that doesn't start till high school, and because I expect math to be a heavy lift.

How so? It's 8th grade. There aren't too many intense classes to take. Well perhaps math

My child doesn’t get any options except for the one elective and math (she’s taking geometry). Otherwise, she’s taking English, history, science and PE (mandatory, daily). They don’t offer honors classes.

Algebra, Biology, Latin, History and Language Arts. PE, of course, and I think choral/music again.
