I'm curious about that GPA and remaining in that level of courses. When my accelerated students are getting C's, I generally recommend they move down to a more appropriate level of rigor.

This times a million. I got a 78 in Honors Geometry freshman year of high school for a variety of reasons, but the end result was that I stayed in the next level down of difficulty for the rest of high school. I would much rather get As and Bs in lower-level courses than struggle in more challenging ones. While it doesn't look good to take all general-level courses solely for the sake of getting high grades/GPA/what have you, the converse isn't much better.
