Have you given thought to the classes that students now have to take before going to college compared to what you may have had to take before going to college? If you are like most people, then you have. In some cases, you might see where students have to know more now than they did in the past.

California high school students may have to take more math.
This is now true for students in today’s generation and even more so for California students who might have to take more math courses prior to college than earlier generation were required to. Previously, students only had to take two years of math and now there is a debate on requiring the students to take four years of math before college.
Key takeaways
- Currently, most high school students only have to take two years of math but soon they might have to take four years.
- At this point, it is just a recommendation that the students have four years of math going into college.
- At this point, there is no set of direction on the types of math that might be required, as it is just a recommendation of four years of math in general.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
