Thanks for the responses. I just wanted to clarify that there was no pressure from us- this post was just prompted by her worries about next year, in fact she was the one who wanted to take extra math classes and accelerate in 7th grade.

@ucbalumnus The course is not exactly named an Algebra 2 course, though it is intended for people who have done the equivalent of geometry the year before.
In the school there are two levels of math, Integrated Math 2 and Integrated Math 3
The average student would do Integrated Math 2 in 9th, Int Math 3 in 10th, and either Math Studies or Methods Standard level in 11th and 12th grades
She would do Math 3 in 9th grade, IB Math Methods SL in 10th and IB HL Math in 11th/12th if all goes well
Geometry in 8th grade was required by the school in order to do Integrated Math 3 in the 9th grade

@wis75 I actually think about this sometimes and will talk to her about it. Personally she is the one who wants accelerate, she convinced me in middle school after I said not to.

@sylvan8798 @bopper @SlackerMomMD Thanks for the tips, I will pass them along to her and work with her
@bjkmom Would you recommend going over Algebra 2 completely before next year? She does have time this summer.
