Let's be a little more specific. “Algebra” is a pretty loose term and many grade levels touch on it. I assume what we are talking about here is specifically what's known as Algebra 1. It was common that you took Algebra 1 followed by Geometry followed by Algebra 2 and then Trig and pre Calculus.

Are we talking about the same thing?

Had algerbra 7th grade, geometry in the 8th.

Had trig in the 9th grade in junior high before going to high school.

That was the progression for me with it starting in 8th grade, but to take Algebra I in 8th we were tested and it was for "advanced" students. Hated Algebra I...loved Geometry...Algebra II nearly killed me and my parents...Trig went OK...won't mention pre Calc. I met a wall.

Similar to my HS years.
I had "Algebra" in the eighth grade though it was more of an intro to Alg than the Full Monty.
