<p>At some of those magnet HS…like the one I attended, they could be taking AP calc in junior year or earlier because they’re required to take 3-4 years of math regardless of one’s math level when beginning 9th grade. </p>
<p>For instance, if one covered pre-calc in 8th grade, one would still be expected to take at least 3 more years worth of math at my HS through courses taught on campus or through an acceptable course at a nearby 4-year college*. </p>
<ul>
<li>If a student from my HS has exceeded the highest level math courses offered on campus, it’s likely he/she’s at the level of a student taking intermediate/advanced math major courses which are seldom offered at most community colleges.<br></li>
