[quote=Anonymous] AP classes at schools that offer them aren’t limited to the main subjects. They also offer AP research, AP studio art, AP French/Spanish/Latin and AP music theory. Those aren’t all the type that can be done via self study. My children’s attend two different schools. Each has a standard level of classes, and honors level and an AP. The Honors and AP get a gpa boost with the AP boost being bigger. So the spread between the highest achieving kids and the mainstream kids is very noticeable. A straight A kid taking the basic level will not have the same GPA as the kid who takes a ton of honors and/or AP. We like this model because kids do develop more self awareness about their own academic ability as compared to their peers. [/quote]
