Algebra 2 or Geometry in Tenth grade or Both?

I am confused as to why she can’t take AP Stats as a second course either junior or senior year. Does your HS require stats and then AP Stats? I would have her double up with stats, rather than with math.

What does her GC say? Is she getting on an honors track now (take honors geometry with the 9th graders)? That might be a better option than to take both geometry and algebra 2. But if she is a very strong math student that just didn’t do well in 7th grade math or on the algebra placement test, perhaps it does make sense for her to double up.

It is not clear to me why you would switch the order of algebra and geometry? Does the new SAT cover algebra 2 topics?

She will be fine. I would also ask the GC if the UCs look more at courses taken or GPA.
