[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok but 11 is quite a bit smaller than 29.[/quote]

Isn't it a much smaller school? There is limit to how many AP classes each kid can manage.[/quote]

WL high school is closer in size to SWW (21) or Ellington (12).

For context here's the 2015-16 list of AP classes offered by each DCPS high school. WL is on the low end for a college prep school.

But if your kid is not interested in an application school and isn't in boundary for Wilson, the offerings are likely better than at your in boundary school.  Ours is Eastern.  It only has 6.

OTOH, 6 is 6 more than what my high school offered "Back in the day" and I ended up accepted to Ivy League colleges and attended top level public colleges and grad schools.

Anyway, the number of AP courses offered by a school doesn't seem like a great indicator of what will work for your kid in high school.  High school is a difficult time and throwing more AP classes into the mix doesn't seem like the most ideal way of addressing it.[/quote]
