They aren't necessarily but in our case our DC did better with smaller classes, ability to have frequent meetings with teachers, and it was easier to schedule extra time on tests, etc.  We were also concerned that at our MCPS (where we have a child so know it very well) he would be in grade level classes rather than AP/honors and that wouldn't be the best fit, but that APs and honors would be too fast a pace.  Also in private school our DC only had 5 academic classes rather than 7 so it was just easier to focus and manage.[/quote]

I'm not sure that you will find a significant difference between expectations in the AP/honors and general education classes between high schools around the county in the core subjects.  But, that being said, if you are thinking your son needs additional time on tests and/or other accommodations, you are only going to get that through an IEP or 504 plan.  You might want to start that process now.

One last thing, if you are considering moving for a school, the consortium school assignments have already been made so if you want a particular school within a consortium, you have to move into an area where that is the home school in order to be guaranteed your first choice.[/quote]
