[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a high schooler & a middle schooler (not at HBW), carefully consider Intensified options. For high school math, for example, you need to get an A in Algebra 2 (regular) if you want to go straight to precalculus (otherwise, there's an Alg 3 or something) where as you need a B in Algebra 2 Intensified. Additionally, intensified is what Arl has for "honors" & colleges do look at rigor so prepare your middle schooler accordingly (or strategically). While at the middle school level teachers seemed to teach both intensified & regular, high school seems to have them be different. I'm not positive the 'regular' classes my child has taken in high school would adequately prepare him for college (we are aiming for schools in the 70%+ range, not Top 20 fwiw). After freshman year, my child switched to more intensified (or AP) courses. [/quote]
