HK, I'm genuinely surprised that Algebra II is required for a regular HS diploma in your state. Not saying it shouln't be - just hadn't ever heard of it being required anywhere before!

FWIW, our school district requires 2.5 years of math credits, and completion of Algebra I - but there are watered-down versions of "Algebra I" which spread it out over 3 semesters.
