[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do most of your DC's classmates enroll for these classes? Or are they discouraged from enrolling?[/quote] At our school it is generally a combination of teacher recommendation (especially in math/sciences) and student/parent interest (sometimes the school will counsel against a student taking an AP but allow the student to try if he/she is really committed/gung ho). The academic advisors play a big role in looking at the student's over-all performance and specific potential in the AP class they want to take. Generally it's seen as better to be a B/B+ student in a non-AP then to be scraping by in a C in an AP class. Lastly, at our school there are relativetly few APs in English/history, by school preference -- it is mostly a math/science/upper level foreign language phenomenon.[[/quote]
