Mathematics Courses Descriptions/Publishers
FOUR credits required for students entering the ninth grade in 2007-2008 or after. *Algebra I, or an equivalent course is required.
*Students entering high school in 2010-2011 add Geometry as a required course.
*Students entering high school in 2012-2013 add Algebra II as a required course.
*Algebra IA, IB, Algebra I or Algebra I Honors are equivalent courses only one will count. Note: Graduates in 2012 are the last class that may count Algebra IA and Algebra IB as two credits towards the Bright Futures Scholarship.
College Preparatory Track (Meets the requirements for the Bright Futures Scholarship) A total of four math credits at the Algebra I level and above.
Algebra I (or Algebra IA and Algebra IB through 2012)
Geometry
Algebra II as the foundation, then adding:
College Algebra, Pre-Calculus or Trigonometry to complete the requirements
The Standard Diploma Track still requires Algebra I or an equivalent course(s) and Geometry, but can then be followed by Business Math and Consumer Math instead of Algebra II, etc.
