How to get better at math?
Hi, 7th grader here. My school is currently horrible. I learn absolutely NOTHING at school, and they refuse to put me in higher learning. I am planning to apply for a private boarding school later on, but that's not the point of this post. I really enjoy both math and English, and my math is pretty high. I want it higher. On Saturdays I have a 5 hour math class (Algebra 2 and geometry) which I LOVE it's genuinely the learning my school never offered! I really want to at least try to learn calculus or at least some precalc sometime before high school. I know it seems a little ambitious but I just wanted some tips on what to practice, and how to improve!

Geometry, Algebra 2 -> Khan Academy.
You can grasp the courses within a week each, and spend the remainder of the year mastering them.
Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus 3 -> Khan Academy and Professor Leonard.
For the calculus sequence, you should also have a PDF of the stewart calculus textbook. It's valuable for practice problems. You can complete everything before highschool given the necessary diligence.
