Pure CS is math (a form I find easier than other branches). You'll be much better if you learn the fundamentals.

New York. It's not a hard school to guess. In fact, the teacher who started the entire program is on Reddit (maybe HN too). I'm extremely fortunate to have attended it.

Not the other guy, but I had at least one CS per semester starting in 6th grade at magnet programs in Montgomery County, MD. They were math, science, and CS magnet programs, and so we always took at least one of each each semester, with various additional electives available.
My high school registered its domain name in 1990 (mbhs.edu) to give you an idea of how on top of the ball they were.
My high school has exactly one CS course (AP Computer Science) that teaches more mathematics than computer science. This is something I would love if it existed at my school.
I've been currently self-teaching CS for the portions that seem relevant and interesting, such as ML/DL, algorithms, and data structures.
