The funny thing is that the OP never said, “Stuyvesant”. We all just assumed, myself included. NYC has quite a few specialized high schools.
@lookingforward I agree. I believe now that coming out of Stuy my D needs calculus and I’m relieved to know she’s going to get it. It may be different in different schools. But at Stuy to get where she wants to go (now at 14) she needs it. We’ll see what exactly she has to do to get there.
@citymama9 I just said it! I looked at your posts and although I skimmed quickly I think I can guess where your D is going. My d got in there too and it was a hard choice.
Thanks @MurphyBrown!
Stuyvesant math courses are listed at:
http://stuy.enschool.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=126659&type=d&pREC_ID=253269
Sequence appears to be:
Algebra 1
Geometry (honors available)
Algebra 2 and Trigonometry (honors available)
Precalculus (prerequisite >=85% in A2&T; honors available) or Advanced Algebra (prerequisite <85% in A2&T)
Then there are three single variable calculus options after that:
Calculus Applications (less than AB); prerequisite Precalculus or Advanced Algebra
AP Calculus AB; prerequisite >= 85% average in math and >= 85% in Precalculus or >= 90% in Advanced Algebra
AP Calculus BC; prerequisite >= 94% average in math and >= 94% in Precalculus or >= 90% in Honors Precalculus
Doubling up Honors Precalculus and AP Calculus BC is allowed if student has >= 95% in Honors Algebra 2 and Trigonometry.
While Stuyvesant offers lots of advanced math options (including several post-calculus courses), the course offerings like Advanced Algebra, Calculus Applications, and AP Calculus AB indicate that some students there are not math superstars or anything like that.
@ucbalumnus there are 800-900 per grade so there are all kinds of outcomes. There are kids who do advanced alg as seniors and never get to calculus. There are all kinds of students there. But it seems from what you’ve posted that doubling up happens senior year which sounds so unappealing.
@citymama9 I realize there are a few performing arts schools actually so I don’t know if your daughter goes to the school I was thinking of.
Ha! She goes to the "fame"ous one 
It’s a good school, but as they say, you really have to love your “studio”, because you are going to be spending 4 periods a day doing it. If your D was accepted she is obviously talented. If she continues to do whatever she auditioned for throughout HS it will help her stand out from all the Science Olympiad and Math League kids.
Ha! That’s the school I guessed. My D got in for vocal and will have one period a day of chorus, but it was hard to let go of the cool classes they have in later years in the vocal studio.
