Why good in math is wrong?

I knew that the sentence "she is good in Math" was right but suddenly found that I was wrong.

What about English? Can I say "she is good in English? "

Thanks

"She is good in math" is a perfectly acceptable, but perhaps informal. (Do not capitalize "math") As for "She is good in English"--the question is what do you want to say. Do you want to say that her linguistic command of English is good?

She is good at Math.
She is good at English.

According to my dictionary, "at" is the correct preposition.
