Honors is the usual pathway for kids with some math aptitude. You will take honors math 6, then honors math 7, then algebra in 8th grade. You will be with kids of your same grade level.

Math Rocks - you have to get an invitation and be in one of the Math Rocks schools. In 6th grade they cover the honors 6 and honors 7 stuff, plus do some AMC math contest topics. In 7th grade they do algebra, plus AMC special topics. In 8th grade, geometry plus math rocks items. You will be with kids of your same grade level.

Credit By Exam is exactly that - you sit for an exam to test out of a subject, and if you get something like 80 or 85% or above, you move up a class. You will be with older grade level kids for that class period.
