At your school, does College Algebra allow students to take Calculus Honors? Does it look like he’d get an A in it?
(If so, the GC indicating he’s “calculus-ready” will help).
In college, he will need to take Applied Calculus or Calculus for Business and the course tends to be weed out (although the Applied calc course tends to be less abstract and not as complete as the Calculus course the STEM majors take). So a rock solid understanding of college algebra would be needed to make sure he’s not weeded out.
There’s typically even more math for an Econ major.
