[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like there may be only a few high schools in MCPS where the honors classes are challenging. My DD is in the DCC and has found most of her honors classes non-challenging. I went to a private high school and had plenty of challenge in my non-AP classes. Some AP classes that I've heard of 9th and 10th graders taking: AP Gov, APUSH, AP Comp Sci Principles, AP Physics 1, AP foreign language if kid is a native speaker, AP Calculus AB if really advanced, AP Psych, and AP Music Theory for advanced musicans. I've heard of at least one 10th grader taking AP English Language. Friends in Colorado take AP Human Geography as freshmen; it would have to be an elective here. APUSH will be a lot more work than AP Gov. If your child takes APUSH as a sophomore, maybe add one more AP and your child will have plenty to do. Focus on extracurriculars and getting state requirements (PE, tech, art, health) out of the way if your child is going to do IB later.[/quote]
