Thanks for all the replies, I am starting to feel better about having him take Algebra 1 next year. My oldest has ADHD and some mild learning disabilities, with school anxiety and working memory issues, but he’s capable of learning. His math scores in elementary school were average, and he fell to below average in middle school (part of this may be that a different, more rigorous test was adopted). I will check with guidance to make sure that my son has opportunities to progress in math over high school. My son loves science, and he will likely need a lot of math and some math help if he goes in that direction. That said, he does not have defined career plans at this time and that’s OK.
