At our MS there is a placement test that you can take if you want to see if you can do this.
Sure, but it would still be helpful to hear from parents who've been through it (especially ones who know at least a little Spanish themselves) what gets covered in Spanish 1 and what's needed to be ready to succeed in Spanish 2. That can give a sense of whether the kid is there already or could get there with a little additional effort, or if they're far enough short of it there's no point.
I don’t think there is a core curriculum and it’s up to the teacher. We found Spanish very
difficult and eventually got a tutor.
