[quote=Anonymous]Quality of AP classes varies greatly from school to school. At DC’s prior school, 3/4 of the AP teachers they had were phoning it in. Hardly any writing, rarely any homework, not aligned with the AP units. Had high enrollment—AP courses were weighted more than DE (which were also uneven quality). The pass rate (3,4,5) for our school was poor, for most classes below 50%. Disappointing. We paid for a tutor and kid put in a lot of hours and got 5s. We moved to a new district and the homework load is high, the teaching is strong and aligned to AP, and I feel that *finally* DC is experiencing a taste of the rigor and workload that awaits them in college. College Board is a racket though![/quote]
