Getting Ahead

If you want to increase course difficulty (ex., geometry -> calculus), check if your school offers graduation credit for courses at local 4-year/2-year colleges. That exposure can boost your knowledge, put you in higher-level classes, and possibly give you some usable college credit when you graduate. If you are trying to go up a level (advanced -> honors), taking the time to self-study (khan academy, study.com videos, online practice problems)in the course you'll be enrolled in can boost your grade, which can help you if you want to try and make a case to your school counselor to request to move up a level. I know multiple students at my school had very high grades in advanced courses, yet still got placed in the same level the year after; these students had done well enough on the benchmarks (what our school uses to asses student growth) so they let them move up. I understand that policies vary between districts, try and meet an upperclassman in your district who has had a similar experience with this! Hope this helps :)

honestly? just work extra hard on your maths skills. you dont need a summer school to drastically improve in maths - its all about practice. during the summer holidays, pull out your maths textbook - and literally do all the questions (obviously not in one setting - your priority is still your mental health, try not to get too burnt out) find out what your doing well on and what didn't go as well - and practice those. Just keep improving your maths. even if you can't get into a maths honor class, aiming for top 3 in the mainstream class is as good, if not better then being middle-ranked in an honor class.

I would personally recommend to check and see if your school does any form of duel enrollment with a local community college.
