Most places I've heard of do not give high school credit for
middle school students, even if they are in Algebra 2 or
Calculus. As long as the high school pays for the students to
take college classes while they are in high school, it isn't a
big deal. If the high school can't offer them math at their
level, and the universities require a certain number of years
of math in high school, it can cause problems
