  • Math Sequence

     Points to Remember:


    All students are required to take four units of mathematics, including Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2 or their equivalents for graduation.


    "Accelerated" does not mean "honors" or "gifted." It means that the students will encounter more content at a faster pace. An accelerated course is equivalent to 1 ½ years of content when compared to the non-accelerated course.


    Students are not able to change from a non-accelerated track to an accelerated track in mathematics. However, students are able to decelerate pending parent/student/teacher agreement.


    Mathematics courses are not weighted, other than AP courses (i.e., students cannot get honors credit or receive a grade higher than 100 because of an accelerated class credit).
