[quote=Anonymous]Really depends on the HS. Some restrict APs in 9th or try to reign in #in any given year, and some are magnets with there own DE or mag classes. Some have no restrictions at all, so it ends up being AP escalation. Also, some schools have 6 subjects, some 7, some 8 per semester.

I had one kid in a magnet program with specialized magnet classes. That school had 8 periods, but also did not let 9th graders take APUSH for US history. Mine ended up with 7 AP classes but took 8 exams because magnet content overlapped. But, she also took some magnet courses far beyond APs.

My other kid went to a different magnet that had 1-2 DE classes each semester.  They only had 7 periods per semester, and the admin pressured students not to take more than 3 APs in any year. Mine did 4 junior year, and it was fine. They did let students take APs in 9th, and mine too Physics 1 and APUSH. Ended up with 10 APs in addition to DEs and multi.

It just all goes back to the school. If your kid is taking a rigorous schedule in relation to what your school offers/allows, that's fine.[/quote]
