[quote=Anonymous]If a high school doesn't offer AP/IB then DE will be the most rigorous curriculum and the student will generally not be disadvantaged in admissions to competitive schools, although the credits may not transfer if it's not the in-state U.  If the school does have AP/IB, highly ranked schools generally seem to prefer that over CC DE classes since AP/IB are more of a known quantity.

However, DE can be a really great option for a student who knows they want to go to a college that has an agreement with that CC.  My cousin's kids in the midwest went to a HS with a robust CC-DE program and graduated HS with AA degrees which fully transferred to their state Us. One kid is on a path to med school and cost savings of two years of college meant a lot. The other kids ended up doing a double major and still graduated from college in 3 years.

My kids' experience with DE has been that it's at the the HS but for a kid who is not happy with the traditional HS experience, a program where you go to the CC may provide the independence they want. Not everyone is aiming for a top 30 USNWR ranked school and not everyone wants the same HS experience.[/quote]
