Eh... it depends.
I researched it a bit when my kids were starting Highschool... and there is a decent amount of variation.
One big factor is if the kid is a math wiz, or struggles. The math wiz group do higher level maths... if the kid struggles with math you want to pick the more practical math.
The cathy duffy site has great reviews of math programs. If the review says "great for clep" or whatever then that = a more advanced faster paced math.
Remember, it is MUCH more important to get a good solid grounding in math, than to flounder and drown in a math class that is too advanced.
Sample of classes:
Algebra 1
Geometry
Algebra 2/Trigonometry
Pre-Calculus
Calculus
My eldest did:
Algebra 1
Geometry
Calculus
Practical trig/physics
Algebra 2
Second kid did:
Algebra 1
Now finishing Geometry
