[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all of this very useful info. So they offer AP courses to freshmen students? That seems very surprising to me. If they are truly college level courses, I am surprised they would offer them to students four years prior to college. My friend's kids go to private school and she told me they couldn't take any AP classes until their second year and then it was only 2 of them if they had done well in their freshman honors courses. Do private schools give these extra points for these courses too? If not, how do private school students compete GPS wise with public school students?[/quote] No privates do not grade inflate, curve, or offer many AP’s. Some like Sidwell offer none, but their graduates get into top notch schools. The local admission directors know the rigor at the college prep schools compared to MCPS easy A’s. [/quote]
