[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid will need to go to MC next year for their math class.  Just not enough kids at our school to offer a higher level math.  He has no desire to take a math filler class just to meet the MCPS graduation requirements.  So now I'm considering full time dual enrollment because a 4 credit math class at MC just does not work nicely with a HS schedule.

But on the college forum people say that for a T20 school, to show rigor, you need to show AP classes.  He can take all the "AP" level classes at MC and have 4 or 5 classes rather than 7.  Kid is currently in 10th grade so will need MC math for 2 years.  School offers humanities AP classes, just not the STEM ones.  I know it sounds silly but could he take the classes at MC and then go back to the HS and sit for the AP exams?[/quote]

Which math classes?

MC only has Calc 1 (AB), Calc 2 (BC),  MVC (Calc 2), DiffEqu (Calc 4), LA, and Stats.

If you're looking at commuting to MC for math, have you asked for permission to commute to a school like Blair instead? Or find an online class to do async?

Turning 2 years of high school into a hash because only you want to study a bit of extra math seems a poor tradeoff, since math is one of the easiest subject to learn in an online format. [/quote]
