[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s AP for all at JR and the AP courses are dumb down and not comprehensive or that rigorous.  The classes are very large which also negatively impacts the class.

About 50% of the kids taking the AP test basically fail it with getting a 1 or 2.[/quote]

There is no AP for all at JR.  The former principal tried to push this, but it was rejected by DCPS and never happened.

JR has a 63% AP pass rate which is 2nd highest after Walls (which is expected).  That is above the 55% national average.

My kids also have not had any issues getting AP classes in 10th grade.  Math and language AP track is straightforward, as well as non-core AP classes like Econ, Psych, Human Geography, etc.[/quote]

It is AP for all.  There are absolutely no academic standards needed  for kids to take AP courses.  Anyone can take AP[/quote]

That's how 95%+ of all public schools work.  [/quote]

It is a tough situation because some kids are not ready for AP classes but somehow end up in them. And it is frowned upon for the teacher to suggest that they move down a level [/quote]
