[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS teachers give recommendations.  Most Freshman take PE and either the art or tech elective (+ the 5 standard subjects).  Some HSs allow an AP class for freshman others do not.  You can always contact their HS counselor to try to do something different though.[/quote]

Yes.  This is how it is.[/quote]

But be aware that you do not need to follow exactly the recommendation of the counselor -- either high or lower.  Outside of the two electives PP described, the other classes do not have that much variability.

Honors English 9
Honors US History or high achiever might do AP NSL or AP World
Honors Biology (at least at our school)  Kid can move "up" to Physics or "down" to Matter and Energy -- or really High Achiever could go directly to AP
Honors Algebra 2 (or whatever next math after 8th, might be Geometry or PreCalc)
Language -- whatever level after MS

Obviously if you kid is not Honors level then adjust to non-honors but I think this is the schedule for about 60-75% of kids in 9th[/quote]
