I don't know of any official research, but the indication in my school
district is that students that complete geometry before algebra 2
perfrom better in algebra 2. Math Curriculums are also splitting in
another way. There is an integrated curriculum that teaches parts of
each type of math each year, but does not seperate it into the
"standard" math subjects. I know my students have to use a lot of
algebra 1 concepts during my geometry class so they shouldn't lose
skills between algebra 1 and algebra 2.
