[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t “Advanced Level” trump “Honors” anyway? Most of my kid’s magnet classes are “advanced” rather than honors.[/quote]

Whether it does or doesn’t (and I don’t think it does in this context at my kids’ hs, I think it is just the equivalent of french 5 honors), no one (i.e., college admissions) would understand that when [b]no other courses on the transcript are listed as “advanced level.”[/b] Meaning, as my kids’ hs there are lots of honors and AP classes but no advanced, with the exception of french/spanish 5. So it stands out that this one class isn’t being taken as honors. [/quote]

AP and IB classes are also Advanced Level.

This is true. Just scroll through the HS course bulletin and look in the Course Info column. Every course with "(AL)" there is Advanced Level, and there are many.

Absolutely. Advanced level classes are technically beyond honors. PPs here would do well to understand that. It’s a step up, not down.[/quote]

Magnet classes are also all advanced level.[/quote]
