As an incoming senior at my high school, I have tried my best to achieve excellence, and what my peers and I in my class have experienced is anything but. My school hasn't offered Calc BC in 5 years. Almost every school district in my county does. As the AB class is coming to a close, some of my classmates and I have tried to sign up for BC Calculus. But already a small class, there weren't enough sign-ups. Administration claims it's not running for lack of a big enough class size, but it's hard to get when, in the current year, only 20 students are taking it, 7 of whom are seniors. (You can even take any AP's till 11th) I was wondering if anyone has any advice for my current class and the students who want to achieve excellence in the next level of mathematics. Without BC, college admissions chances dwindle, and the likelihood of this trend continuing is mounting. I would love any advice I can get. Thank you.
