How many people actually take multivariable calc in high school?

In my school about 10-15 people take DE by senior year. These people were three years advanced since about 6 grade, and they took alg 2 as eighth graders and so on. Since DE is offered in my high school ( and weighted as a AP course) no one really has any trouble if they are qualifies and want to take it.

However the class of 2017 at my school has decided to take it one step further. A bunch of kids decided to take pre calc the summer before freshman year at the local cc. They took AP calc ab as freshman! So, if they want to continue math through senior year, they will have to take a cc class again.

LOL yall who want to accelerate the math curriculum for everyone are living in a bubble. You realize that there are a lot of districts having a hard time getting everyone to pass alg 2, right? I took geometry over the summer, there were at least 5 incoming seniors in my class! And there were multiple classes. Heck the majority of the people in the class had failed the first time around. I agree that the math curriculum could use some tweaking, but people one cc could realize that not everyone is like us, and needs to take calc in high school. Heck, not everyone needs to take clac period!
