Most students who have attended FACS in elementary school are prepared for pre-algebra in seventh grade, following up with algebra in eighth. Those who need additional practice before moving on to higher math study general math in seventh and pre-algebra in eighth.
High school students work at various levels in algebra I and II, geometry and pre-calculus (which includes probability and trigonometry). Advanced placement calculus also is available. Following this course, students may test for qualification to receive college credit.
Select, high-performing students compete each year in the American Math Exams, usually held at the University of Memphis. FACS consistently scores high on these tests relative to other public and private high schools in the Memphis area.
Junior and senior high curricula include Saxon, Houghton Mifflin, McDougal Littell and Addison Wesley.
