[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ap lang + AP lit - gr 11-12
AP world hist + AP US Hist + AP gov - gr 10-12
AP world lang (11 or 12)

==&gt; 5-6 APs

AP calc (anywhere from 10-12) + AP CS (10 or 11) + AP CS Principles (10)

1 AP science in 12
And either AP psych or AP econ micro/macro or extra AP science

+ poss AP art or music or other

==&gt;  about 5-6 more

So just taking the top level of courses required each year for the standard diploma at FCPS gets you a min of 5 but more likely about 11 APs and that is about 15% of high school students following this track (e.g AAP kids from middle school)

So maybe &quot;normal&quot; is not the top 15% (1 out of every 6 or 7 kids)  but it is certainty not the 99% percentile.

So I would not agree with the high school teacher who said 10 APs is not &quot;normal&quot;.

Now if you took only APs from 9-12 whenever it was possible to slot in an AP and came out with 18-22 then yes that would not be normal.

Not every kid takes both AP lang & AP lit, or even either.
Not every kid takes an AP world language. Probably most do not. My kid's school did not offer the AP course in their world language.
And as for AP calc - do you realize how many kids are not on track to get to that by senior year?

You are delusional if you think the average kid takes 11 AP classes.[/quote]
