[quote=Anonymous]OP are you coming from the UK? Basically you want the most advanced classes for your kid in their best subjects. AP stands for "advanced placement" and can earn college credits in some places, there is an exam at the end and this is useful for university applications. Basically like the equivalent of A levels / much higher level GCSEs - in that you can take as little as 3 or as many as 10 depending on availability at the school. If you already have a school picked out and your child accepted you are better off talking directly with them, about what they have on offer. Rule of thumb is that if your child is not AP level then they should be "honors" level. Anything below that is basically remedial learning. Which is fine if you have a remedial learner but not if you don't.[/quote]
