Three
years of mathematics are required for graduation from South Hunterdon
Regional High School. This requirement is usually met by taking
mathematics in grades nine, ten and eleven. The Mathematics Department
screens students for honors course placement annually. The program
allows changing from honors or regular classes on a yearly basis. Under
certain circumstances geometry and Algebra II may be taken at the same
time, with administrative approval. Compensatory Education will be
assigned for those students scoring below the Minimum Level Proficiency
on the State mandated test.

Suggested mathematics sequences would be as follows:
Students
are carefully selected for the 8th grade Algebra I course. The purpose
of taking this course is to be able to take Calculus in 12th grade. It
is to be noted that students taking Algebra I in the 9th grade still
have the opportunity to take calculus by taking both geometry and
Algebra II in 10th grade (with the approval of the math department
chairperson).
It is highly recommended that an 8th grade student
who receives a D+ or lower in Algebra I repeat Algebra I in 9th grade.
Note that Algebra I in 8th grade does not count toward graduation.
