[quote=Anonymous]I posted up-thread that I agree Walls is not a super strong STEM school . . .but on the other hand, not sure what other class the school should be offering other than AP Chemistry (which is never offered). While true that AP Biology is only offered every other year, kid only needs to take it once so that is fine (just take it the year 10th-12th that it is offered to you)! And I find it hard to believe as one poster above claims that if you don't take AP Chemistry or differential equations in high school you can't do pre-med in college? What? Also, even if Walls offered all these other STEM classes (again, not sure what other schools offer that Walls doesn't other than AP Chem and I guess differential equations?), given required classes to graduate (PE, Health, Senior Seminar, DC history, Internship, etc) I don't think students have room in schedules to take them?? My kid will top out in high school math taking multivariate in 12th grade (after taking Calc BC in 10th and AP Stats in 11th; Walls only allows seniors to take multivariate b/c only one section/not enough room for 11th graders).
