3? (Kind of Sarcastic) wow! Every single year/quarter of a person's basic education includes math and science (physics and then biology and chemistry, then a bit of cs) where I am from. Thus, worst case scenario a person has spent 9 years on that stuff (among other topics sure). Sure I can see art does not get a lot of focus from what you are saying and I do not have experience in your system to say what the balance kept. But I can see if a school is running under budget and needs to reduce something that art/music is the first to go. Pity.

FYI HS is “high school” which is only 4 years long

  Also, prior to high school, kids are usually taking math and science classes at all times, so the absolute maximum would be one year without math and science.

    That's good. (Although what is the purpose of the off year?) Question: when you say science what does that incorporate?

  I got that. Although not clear if they meant senior high school or what not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_United_States It is a bit unclear to me when someone says high school in the U.S. if they imply junior or senior or none of the above.

    "High school" is the universally-accepted term in the US, and means four years before university. "Junior" high school is not a universal term, though exists in some areas. "Senior high school" is a term I've never heard before, appears uncited on that wikipedia page, and were I to say it to anyone I know they would look at me funny.

25% being math and science might be a lot to you, but I think it should be closer to 50%.

  I think I kind of made the opposite comment (or you replied to the wrong comment not sure).

    I think partly another comment and partly misreading yours lol, sorry about that. It is a pity that we can't all be perfectly rounded for sure. In the future, it'd be nice if you Kahn Academy everything starting in highschool and choose out of hundreds of courses on interest for the few electives you have.
