PV mom-I think you may not be getting the responses you like here because nobody here can really tell you what your daughter can do under the constraints imposed by the high school. If she wants to graduate from X high school, and she wants to attend the full four years, and they require four years of math, you need to be talking to them to find out the best way for her to accomplish that under their requirements. Nobody here is going to be able to tell you what they will accept or allow. It’s always surprising to me that people think anonymous posters on a website will be able to answer specific scheduling issues for their kids. That’s why people question the rationale for posting to the website, and are addressing other issues. You posted here - you can’t control what other people will write or think.

Are you even sure that IB courses will be challenging enough for her, and that she shouldn’t be taking even more advanced courses? Maybe she should just do her entire high school math sequence at the local university. She won’t be the first, especially no these days. If the “PV” stands from Palos Verdes, it’s hard for me to believe the local high school won’t work with you. If not, there’s always Chadwick (or your own private school). I mean, whatever school district this is, presumably it’s the same one that allowed her to get to Calculus by age 12. So they should be able to work with you on some appropriate plan for her to graduate.
