Has your daughter “always struggled” in a variety of subjects, or primarily in math? My teen daughter has dyscalculia. We do upper level math, but we also spend at least one day a week on fundamentals, speed, and accuracy. If your daughter has been struggling with math, you may want to work on fundamentals with her.

I wouldn’t let the school bump your daughter to a lower diploma. Check your school handbook and see if it says anything about how to make up failed classes. Can your daughter take a math class at a cc over the summer? Our local cc has short summer sessions. Maybe yours does too. If the college thinks that’s acceptable, I don’t know why the high school would mind. But check with both.
