[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, in fact I think it’s the opposite. My district in the Northeast doesn’t offer dual enrollment at all but plenty of APs. From the articles I’ve read, the goal of expanding dual enrollment programs is to get students to graduate high school with some community college credits so they are more likely to enroll in college and complete a degree.

In some states it’s also marketed as a way to save money and graduate in only 3 or 3.5 years. Not every college will accept those credits, though. This is most likely to work if you transfer them to a state university in the same state the student graduated high school in.[/quote]

same as our area of the midatlantic. DE is seen as much lower quality in all our area public schools. The only exception is DE multivariable calc, calc-based physics(AP phys C equivalent, we only have AP phys 1 and 2), Diff EQ. These are not offered at our district high schools so DE is the only way. They take these classes senior year after maxing out on AP. DE in place of Calc AB or BC is where the good but not great kids are tracked after honors precalculus, if it does not go as well. Top kids track to AP Calc BC as seniors or even juniors. UVA and VT and WM never take non-AP/full DE-program kids from our district. [/quote]

"UVA and VT and WM never take non-AP/full DE-program kids from our district." They do for the APS DE classes. [/quote]

Yup. I can’t find an IG for Arlington Tech, but this says kids got into UVA & VT. AFAIK, Arl Tech doesn’t offer any APs. Only DE (and these kids all earned AA/AS in hs)[/quote]
