Advanced math track in This Guy’s local public school district (only 5 percent max of district students will be given the chance to follow this track):

7th: Algebra I
8th: Geometry
9th: Algebra II
10th:Math Concepts/Pre-Calc/Trigonometry
11th:Calc AB (AP)
12th:Calc CD

Without taking the trouble of separating the wheat from the chaff during 5th/6th grade, and offering Algebra I in 7th grade to the “wheat” students, this district would cease supplying the best prepared students it can to compete for for STEAM-major college major seats around the U.S.

There is no substitute for putting these students through their mathematics paces before graduation from high school.

That's a normal/average sequence. I would start bright kids on Algebra I in 5th or 6th grade for --it's a good way to solidify basic arithmetic. Khan (and other websites) will help you do it for you, for free.
