[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a lot of rumors last year about her leaving. Due to conflict/disagreement with the new principal. Have not heard anything recently. The new principal is viewed as "anti magnet." [/quote]

Which is the right path to take. As more and more colleges look less at AP's (as they lose money off of them) and look at the overall person for admittance, magnets and IB's are starting to take a turn. [/quote]

Colleges don't lose money because of AP courses. If credit is awarded, the space can be given to another student anyway.[/quote]

Most colleges don't award the AP credits anyway. And if they do, many kids repeat classes, especially if they have to take specialized courses.  None of the high school AP classes are on par with an actual college class at a decent college. Not by a long shot. Most college prep and decent privates don't offer AP's at all or just in senior and occasionally junior year. Most publication offer them to up their ridiculous already weighted GPA's.  MCPS has the highest GPA's because of how many they consider honors, how they round up every grade, they don't give finals, and they offer weighted courses as young as 6th grade for courses that truly aren't weighted.
