Each were half a (school)year long. Astronomy was an elective. Then you had to take the second-level to two of the four schools of science (i.e., Biology 2) which were also only two quarters each.
In California, at least when I was a student (I graduated nearly 13 years ago), you had to take health, one year of life sciences (college-track kids generally took biology), and one year of physical sciences (chemistry or physics, generally). We didn't have any science electives at my school except Physics II my junior year and Bio II my senior year. (Both classes had large amounts of the same people.)
