[quote=Anonymous]DC’s HS publicizes that students can take a limited number of APs - 1 in 10th, 2 in 11th, 3 in 12th. This limit is noted in the handbook, the course guide, AND in the school overview that gets sent to colleges with transcripts. But I’ve just learned the “limit” is basically BS. Several of DC’s friends (rising 11th) will be taking 3 or 4 APs next year, including doubling up in subject areas (ie, 2 history APs or 2 science APs at the same time). I had appreciated the school’s measured approach to the “arms race” that publics and some privates have for cramming in as many APs as possible, and now I find that DC with an anticipated 5 APs (out of what I thought was a max of 6) is apparently not actually that rigorous. DC has a learning difference and is taking all honors plus the 5 anticipated APs and we wouldn’t change that, but it’s frustrating to learn that course load doesn’t stack up as well as I thought.
