Thanks for all your input. We live in CO. No GT coordinator at this time. Small town so only one hs. I have lots to think about. I am not worried about her running out of math classes just feel that if she is putting in the time with all the other hs students she should get the credit. May need to rethink that. Students do have the opportunity for dual enrollment with community college nearby.
Just a word of caution about high schoolers taking community college courses, some of the CO state universities won't accept CO community college courses for credit. I'm not sure about placement. I have a friend who had her HS kid take Calculus at the local community college. Colorado School of Mines would not accept the course work for credit (BTW, they don't accept IB for credit either). I am not sure how they determined placement. I've heard that CU Boulder accepts some courses but not others. Not sure, about CSU. It appears to be on a school by school basis.
