Sophomore

A sophomore is a 10th grader.

Course selection

English

Sophomores can take English 10 or English 10A.

Social studies

Sophomores take a semester of Contemporary World History and a semester of US Government (or the Social Justice Pathway equivalents).

Math

Sophomores who took Algebra 1A the previous year have a choice between Geometry and Geometry A. Students who took Geometry H generally take Algebra 2 + Trig H next, although some go to Algebra 2 + Trig A or skip to Analysis. Students who took Geometry A during their freshman year generally take Algebra 2 + Trig A, although they can also switch lanes to Algebra 2 or Algebra 2 + Trig H.

Science

Sophomores are required to take any physical science course (typically Chemistry or Chemistry Honors), as long as they have the proper math accreditation (this only affects AP Physics 1 and AP Physics C).

PE

One more year of PE is required, although some students do it during their junior year instead of their sophomore year.
