It is a very difficult class. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that even a HG+ student might struggle with it, particularly if there has been a lack of true challenge previously.

I must be missing something here... Could you tell me what is difficult about Algebra II? The algebra part of precalculus--yes--but Algebra II seems to me to be nothing more than an Algebra I rehash with a few extras thrown in.
