[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school it’s probably 11-12 APs total.

The “most rigorous” schedules include:

Math: 11th - Calc BC (junior year); and 12th either MV / Linear (for STEM applicants) or AP Stats (for non-STEM)

English: 11th - AP Lang (junior) and 12th - AP Lit

Science: 10th - AP Physics; 11th - AP Bio or AP Chem (both for STEM); 12th - Physics C

History: 10th - AP World; 11th - APUSH; 12th - AP Euro and/AP Gov

Foreign Lang: 12th AP Lang[/quote]

OP here and this will mostly be my kid with the exception of science. Taking Chem H as a 10th grader. Likely to take AP Physics 1 in 11th and AP Bio or Chem in 12th. This is the only area where I am a little worried. [/quote]

No worries. Those kinds of small differences likely don’t move the needle

That said, the most useful insights on this will come from your high school, as “most rigorous” is school-specific. So, if you really want to get nitpicky, ask around about the “most rigorous schedule” kids who are a year or two or three ahead of your DC at their high school. What do they do for science in 10th grade?

FWIW, our HS seems similar to yours - honors chem in 10th. A handful or two of kids each year choose to double in science in 10th, taking Physics 1 contemporaneously with chem (and pre-calc.) YMMV.[/quote]
