>The other half of USA high schools? They don't even offer a Calculus course of any kind [1]
That's a bit misleading. There are many districts where one school serves as a magnet school where anyone interested in taking more advanced classes can go. So yes while it may be true that half of all schools don't offer calculus--far less than half of all students can't readily take calculus.
Not to mention that many schools allow dual-enrollment, where one can take courses at a local community college to make up for the dearth of courses at a high school.
