When I was a kid, in 7th everyone took regular math. In 8th, you could take regular math, pre-algebra, or algebra I.
DD's school has everyone in regular math in 7th, and in 8th you choose between regular math and Algebra I. So no more pre-algebra.
But when I look at the high school (9-12) curriculum, it gets more complicated. Kids who already had Algebra I in 8th go on to Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calc (Trig + Math Analysis), then Calc (either AB or BC).
Kids who didn't have Algebra I in 8th can take
Preparatory Algebra (math skills too weak for Algebra I)
Algebra I
Intermediate Algebra (got to at least grade 11 without strong enough skills for Algebra II)
Geometry (prereq for Algebra II)
Algebra II
Financial Algebra (meets graduation requirements but not college entry requirements; you'd probably need a remedial class before College Algebra)
Algebra III (Meets graduation requirements and also college entry requirements.)
