[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges like to see students take the following courses while in high school:
4 years of Math, English, Science, History/Government, and Foreign Language.

AP CS Principles is a beginner level college CS Class.  AP CS A is more advanced.

The schedule depends on your son.

My son will be taking the following classes in 9th grade:

Honors English 9
Honors Biology
AP Pre Calculus BC
AP Human Geography 
AP CS Principles or AP CS A
Spanish 2 (honors not offered)
Gym

It all depends on how easy school is for your son.  Does he have all As in 8th grade?

Good lord.  What school allows you to take 3 AP courses as a freshman?  What a terrible rat race our kids are in.[/quote]

Those are all AP courses listed in the 9th grade course directory.  AP Pre Calculus BC is the next course for students after Honors Algebra II who are looking to study math/science/stem in college.

AP CS Principles is a basic beginner class.
AP Human Geography is supposed to be one of the easiest AP classes.

It is a terrible rat race here in FCPS, just trying to keep up![/quote]

Is this what the options are at all fcps AP high schools?  We are zoned for Marshall.  And I can't believe so many of your rising 9th graders took algebra in 6th grade.[/quote]

Some kids take Geometry in the summer so they can be further ahead. DS is at Carson and knows kids taking geometry this summer. I think there are about 300 kids across the county that take it, most will be at Carson, Longfellow, and Cooper. There will be a handful at other schools. Mainly kids who think it will help them with TJ.
