I don't know for sure about middle school. I took Algebra I in 8th grade, Algebra II in 9th grade, geometry in 10th grade, advanced algebra/trigonomeetry in 11th grade, and something called Senior Math in 12th grade (basically, it was pre-calculus.)

Here, a few take Algebra I in 7th grade (or something
even higher--generally the center-based GT kids who are strong
in math), the "honors level" kids tend to take it in 8th grade,
and the rest in 9th grade. I think all the high schools around
here offer at least through calculus for the more advance
high school math students, but people take a variety of
paths depending on their level of ability and interest in
math and which diploma program they're pursuing.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that many
school systems or state education boards have websites
where they list the standards of learning for each
grade and subject and also the graduation requirements
for high school. It should also cover the standardized
testing they do.

Best wishes,
