My first thought when I read the list of topics was that my math classes in high school covered almost *all* of them before my AP Calculus class in high school. That doesn't mean I had a better or more thorough math curriculum - it just means they were on our list of things that needed to be covered before you got to Calculus.

I probably shouldn't compare to my high school experience, it was a bit patchy and usual. I moved cross country between my sophmore & junior year of H.S. And then decided to graduate a year early and go to university at 17. I remember more of the jokes my Algebra II teacher told in class than what actual material was covered. But since I have a Math BA I must have learned something. I then didn't take BC Calc because I went straight to university. And once I got there managed to test straight into the second quarter of College Calculus. It's still possible I missed a few topics.
