[quote=Anonymous]OP, my two cents is that no you aren't wrong in the substantive sense, but you will find many people including college counselors who would say to show a "most rigorous schedule," despite that wicked hard schedule he should also take Spanish 5 honors and APUSH. And to be sure, without even knowing where your son is in HS, there will be kids who take that full complement of classes. I think there should be acknowledged permutations of a "most rigorous" schedule, such as your son's is an excellent schedule for a stem oriented kid. Kids in Fairfax, Arlington, Montgomery County, probably HS in DC, too, face a lot of tough choices in this regard since such high level classes are offered and encouraged (which has many benefits). Compare to students with rigorous schedules in MA who may top out as seniors in Calculus AB, and colleges view their schedule just as "rigorous" since they are taking the maximum classes offered in their school district.
