The reality is that we are teaching as much math as we can. My school teaches Algebra 1, Geometry, Calc, and Stats. We sometimes are able to offer Multivariate Calculus if there are enough Juniors in the BC Calc class. It would be nice if we could offer an Abstract Algebra or Complex Numbers course occasionally, but there just aren't enough students that get to senior year ready to take those kinds of courses. Keep in mind that there are 2 AP Calculus tests, so no student that could take Abstract Algebra would choose to not take AP Calculus due to getting college credit for it. Since there is an AP Stats class, students will often take both AP Calc and AP Stats. Which means they are lined up to take all the fun math classes when they get to college! Of course, these aren't the average students. These are the students that are taking full boats of AP classes and coming out of high school with 15 - 30 college credits.
