[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- your replies have been insightful thank you for taking the time with your thoughtful replies. I would also like to know what your thoughts are for DE for students who are not taking AP classes. [b]My daughter is of average brightness, but not particularly driven.[/b][/quote]

M'am, then you should not be considering dual enrollment (or AP/IB) for your child. DE courses are true college courses.

To succeed with college-level work, your child needs to be intrinsically driven, bright, motivated, organized and disciplined. It doesn't sound like your daughter fits that profile so she needs to stay in the high school environment. You can't want this more for her than she does.[/quote]

You could argue that community college classes are really aimed to serve a broad variety of students including the ones that aren’t the brightest and most motivated. Taking those classes in high school might make it harder, but it really depends on many things like what class, support, maturity etc. overall I think it’s a good experience for most students to at least get a taste of what college is like.[/quote]
