Maybe give some free advice about: School?
At my school all years sort of count except for freshman year because it's the transition from middle school to high school. The most important year is junior because that's when you apply to colleges and take the SATs, AP exams, and everything. Senior year they look to see that you didn't slack off. Do you even want to pursue a math career in the future? You should make your schedule around what you want to do, of course you should always try your best but don't be down. Forming study groups with friends is major fun. My parents went to this session at school where they taught them the order of importance of college stuff. First it's the GPA and SATs and grades and the extracurriculars is sort of on the bottom of the list. They're there for you to stand out if you are applying to the same school as your other classmate and you both have good grades. It's better to apply to a college in a different state because they need a variety of different people. It's not bad grades, I don't know how your school works, but I heard getting an A in a lower course looks better than getting a B in a higher course, like your academic-level thingy. Also, you don't have to take all academics; here in my high school they call it honor classes. Aim high but if you can't handle all that you might want to drop down in that one course. You need to be able to breathe!

It is great that you are trying to do well. Just keep studying hard and doing your work. if you need extra help, you should hesitate to talk to your teacher or find a tutor. Good grades are important, but so are SAT scores and extracurricular activities.

all the highschool years are important but freshman is the most important. im worried about colege 2, cause im a freshman. math and science are the classes that you need 2 do good in especially for girls. spanish and a computer class is good 2 you can get in colege with bad grades as long as you try hard now rae

actually, when regarding college, the junior year is incredibly important, i don't want to put too much pressure on you, but the junior year is when you take the SAT's and apply for colleges.
but now i've heard that the SAT's contain things you only learn in your senior year, so i'm not sure.
but the senior year isn't that important, you just need to finish getting the credits, because by then most kids would've gotten their college applications all finished.
and if you continue doing really well all through junior year, i'm sure you'll be able to get into the college you want. the college doesn't look too much at whether your in the "smart" or "dumb" class. it just checks your credit. so if you want the credit for that math class, then you'll have to take it again.
but also make sure to take a look at your school's graduation requirements and see how many credits you need from the math department to graduate. you might not even need to get anymore credits from that department.

Contrary to what you may have heard, your LAST year of high school is the one that counts the most, so any good work habits that you have built up will not go to waste!
Keep up the good work :)
As for not being able to get into college because of the math course, it all depends on what the prerequisites for your program and for your high school are.
