<p>There are two stats teachers at the school. One is mediocre and one is a really terrific teacher. My son had her his freshman year for Algebra II. Statistics is her passion and she has her students do a lot of interesting projects. If he gets her, he’ll probably find it interesting. If he gets the other teacher, it will just be what it is. I’m a bit surprised at the suggestion to drop statistics (and, as I mentioned, he has a yearly math requirement) because I thought four years of math was expected of kids who wanted to apply to reach schools. Is that not the case?</p>
