Maybe not your sophomore year but perhaps your Junior. I was in a very similar position as you were. I was in Algebra I freshmen year, took Geometry my sophomore year and only after that did I decide to aim for Calculus. In a senior now and I’m taking (both semesters) Calculus II, III, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra (along with calculus-based physics).

Here is what you would need to do: double up on Geometry and Algebra I your freshmen year, take Algebra II during the summer, and then Precalculus your sophomore year. Then, you can take AP Calculus BC your junior year.

However, that’s only answering to how math could be taken as quick as possible so you could take Calculus. Yes, you could also study trigonometry the summer you take Algebra II but again, it’s not recommended at all. I would highly, HIGHLY consider what the others have said before me. Do yourself a favor and take into consideration what the others have said. Don’t rush yourself. Good luck, man.
