2021-2022 Goal:

80% of the Algebra 2 students will be proficient (Grades C or better) at the end of each semester and be prepared for the next level of mathematics. Students will demonstrate proficency with functions; linear, quadratic, rational, exponential, and logarithmic by graphing, solving, writing and applying to real world problems by the end of the year.
