So after the reform, despite all the gnashing of teeth, it's still possible to take multivariate calculus by senior year. They do this by compressing algebra 2 and precalculus together, which makes sense to me.
The difference is there's no longer tracking into advanced math classes in middle school, everyone instead starts Algebra I in 9th grade. It sounds like the Virginia plan may be similar -- allow acceleration starting junior year.
