NOTE: Accelerated courses are designed for students who are best suited to learning math at a very fast pace. Each Accelerated
course addresses 1.5 years of mathematics per year, enabling them to receive a HS elective (not core) credit if they successfully
pass the required EOCT in Grade 8. Also, per state legislation, high school courses taken in middle school do not count toward
the HOPE scholarship. Honors/Advanced courses prepare students to enter the Accelerated pathway in the future if they meet
the criteria.
