[quote=Anonymous]DD has talked to her counselor already.  She is in 10th grade, and at this point still interested in my inputs/advice.  :P

She has one period slot opened to take a class and she is between AP Java and AP Physics 1.  This would mean she'd double on science in 10th with Hon Chem and AP Physics 1.  She is in band so that is her "relax" class and will be doing AP NSL as the other AP class in sophomore year.

Because of the desire to do band, she is in some way "sacrificing" a slot for other electives.  At this point, she wants to take band for all four years.

We've looked at the courses available at our school, and I've pointed out that taking AP Physics 1 will allow her to do AP Physics C in 12th grade if she happens to want to do a double science in 11th.  Are there downsides to taking AP Physics 1 in 10th and delaying on AP Java until 12th?  For kids interested in a possible STEM path in college, how relevant is it to take Physics C sometime in HS?

Thank you in advance for your advice.  She is my first born, and I am not so familiar with the MCPS system.[/quote]
