PRE-AP OR NOT? If you are in academic math, you need to take academic math next year. Otherwise, you will miss an entire year of pre- Algebra. If you are doing really well in academic math, please plan to take pre-AP Algebra in 9 th grade. If you are in academic math, pre-AP Science will be very difficult next year. They will be learning physics concepts in the first nine weeks and you will not have had the necessary math in academic math. If you are making A’s in your academic LA and/or TX History classes, consider moving to pre-AP!!
