[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, the criteria does not mean your kid has the literal most difficult course load of anyone at the school. It means they are on an honors or above college prep track as opposed to gen ed. For math: all calculus and above counts, not just the hardest math class offered. All APs count. All honors level classes count. And you don't have to have 100% of these to get the designation.

In college prep private schools (as opposed to K-12 private schools where they maybe separate "tracks"), every student gets the box checked because all of them took "the most rigorous" even if there is variation among them. Any high school counselor that is treating this the way some of you seem to think they are is doing it wrong and is harming the children at your school.[/quote]

College prep private schools CCs typically don't just check boxes - they tend to give qualitative context on rigor not binary "most demanding" versus "very demanding'. They usually skip the box and just write a few sentences about rigor instead.[/quote]
