I think that most schools offer it to freshmens. The school I went offered it at both freshmen and eighth grade if you tested out of regular eighth grade math. Algebraic concepts are taught as early as Grade K. Algebra as a subject in other countries is taught in late elementary school along with basic computations. In Ohio (where I live now) Algebra as a class is taught as early as 7th grade for high school credit to students who have the ability. In the United States, the most common grade to begin Algebra as a class is grade 9. However, when should it be taught is as soon as a student is able to grasp the material. Most students understand basic algebra concepts (properties like 2 + 3 is the same as 3 + 2, OR if 1 + 2 = 3 and 0 + 3 = 3, then 1 + 2 = 0 + 3 OR that a variable is the same as the blank space they've been filling in all along, 4 x ___ = 20 is the same as 4b = 20) as early as they begin computations. If these concepts are introduced correctly, basic algebra class becomes very simple for middle school students.

you can. i am in algebra II and that's what i was taught
It isn't; the algebra 1 and 2 that you get taught in middle or high school is elementary algebra. When (if you want to) you get into more advanced algebra, you can learn linear algebra (matrix algebra) and abstract algebra (which involves sets, operations on sets, groups, and many more concepts), and probably several more types of algebra I've never heard of.
no they should be starting pre algebra in 6th grade no they should be starting pre algebra in 6th grade
Algebra II contains some Geometry concepts that could be taught inside of Algebra II if necessary, but it is easier to take Geometry first in order to fully understand these concepts.
Well, according to what I learned when I was in Algebra I, you should never have to use a semicolon.
