Math Sequence
Points to Remember:
All students are required to take four units of mathematics, including Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II or their equivalents for graduation.
"Accelerated" does not mean "honors" or "gifted." It means that the students will encounter more content at a faster pace.
Students are not able to change from a non-accelerated track to an accelerated track in mathematics. However, students are able to decelerate pending parent/student/teacher agreement.
Mathematics courses are not weighted, other than AP courses and math classes beyond AP Calc (i.e., students cannot get honors credit or receive a grade higher than 100 because of an accelerated class credit).
