My early graduation plan

[Dragonoid.Slayer]

So, i'm early on in high school, and I am thinking about early graduation now. I made a spreadsheet to display my plan.


Key:



QUESTIONS:
Is graduating early / having free classes in my 4th year a good idea?
Will this plan work?
Am I missing any classes?
Are there any flaws at all?

Please give me input on this, so I can perfect it for the future.

i could have graduated early but honestly i didnt feel like it. i need 3 credits to graduate and i have 2 this semester and 2 next semester (one of them is extra)

as long as you're getting all your credits and stuff i dont see a problem with graduating early unless you dont like the overflow of work

You're gonna have a really hard time going from Algebra II straight to Calculus. People miss out on a LOT of key algebra skills by not taking Pre-Calc first and ultimately end up failing Calculus because of it.

Hmmm, ok. Does pre-calculus count as a class, or an elective? I know the Pre-AP Social Studies counts as an elective

This very much. I also very highly and cannot emphasize enough that I think you should take trig alongside pre-calculus.

Trig isn't on this class last. Guess my school doesn't have it

Pre-Calculus is a core mathematics class. It's very similar to Algebra II but more in depth and focuses a lot more on concepts that you need to know in calculus. I'd suggest just taking that instead of Algebra II.

You'll scratch the surface of trig in precalc, but you're probably gonna have to end up teaching yourself trig during the semester you take calculus. There's a whole section dedicated to it in calculus textbooks so you'll probably be alright.

So Pre-Calc is in fact a core class, and will count as a math class towards my 4 requires classes?

Like raven said though, you should try to at least teach yourself some of it. Taking trig made pre-calculus 100 times easier for me and if I hadn't taken it at all, I'd be totally destroyed in calculus by now.

ok, Ill get on that next year. But... I googled it

Algebra II is assumingly required to take Pre-Calc

Yeah that's probably true everywhere

It was in my school too but students that achieved mastery(85 or higher) in both Algebra I and Geometry/Statistics were allowed to go straight to precalc, and you must get pretty decent grades if you plan on taking calculus in highschool.

I'm sustaining a 97 in Algebra, so keeping good grades shouldn't be a problem

[Dragonoid.Slayer]

Actually, is geometry a required class?
If not, I can drop it and replace it with Algebra II

i only need 3 more classes to graduate.

i need to take geometry, algebra 2, and english 12
