[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. He knows Pre-Algebra. So Algebra 1.

Am I right that AAP for 7th Grade is Level IV (meaning full-time)?

If it wasn't Algebra I, then is AAP curriculum that different for English, Science and Social Studies? I am trying to determine the difference from Honors for these.

I see Honors classes need to be picked before school starts. Is Summer too late (before school starts) to pick - as we won't have picked a school before then?

You cannot enroll until you are a resident so you will pick classes when you have bought a house or signed a lease. Honors and AAP classes may or may not be different, it depends on the school. I doubt that there is that much difference at the non-Title 1 schools. There are parents who have had kids in Honors and LIV who posted that the honors work load was the same as the LIV workload at their kids MS. You will notice the difference if you are at a school with higher levels of poverty and non-English speakers. In those schools the kids who are ok students but not great will enroll in Honors because the regular class is geared more to kids who are not fluent English speakers. The honors classes move at a slower pace so the LIV classes are more challenging. At schools with less poverty you find that less of a gap between H and LIV.

Seriously, most of the kids taking AP/IB classes in HS will not have been in LIV and they do just fine if not excel. It is not that of a deal at most of the schools. [/quote]
