All school counselors comment on rigor in their recommendation. Our private school CC shared that she never checks a box, but some schools (usually larger ones do). Instead, our school CC just comments on rigor. In our DC's case, he took the "most demanding" courses in math and humanities, but not science. Since DC's non-STEM, we weren't worried about that and made sure to hit top rigor in the subjects most relevant to DC's potential major.

Don't sweat it. Many CC's don't check a box, they just comment on rigor in context of the school. We don't know the context of your school so just send an email to your CC for clarification. They will tell you how they characterize your student's course rigor if you ask.
