[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main problem is that JR lets all comers into its AP classes. Most suburban schools don't. The kids either meet a cut off in a prerequisite, generally at B+, or they don't qualify to take the AP class up the chain. Same with pre-IB work and IB Diploma. Also, suburban schools generally offer far more APs than JR, which only teaches around 20 subjects. Good suburban high schools teach more than 30 (there are 39 subjects). JR teaches 4 languages. Some suburban schools in the DMV teach a dozen. ECs tend to be far more serious in the burbs as well. [/quote] Out of curiosity I went to JR High school website and to McLean High school website and counted. JR has 26 AP classes, and McLean 24 AP classes.[/quote]
