[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class of 2024. Accepted in September of senior year via rolling admissions to the safety school she fell in love with.

But she was enrolled in a full DE program (culminating in an AS) that went to the first week of May.

All that to say she didn’t really have time for senioritis to set in. The mild complaints started after Spring Break but I’ll give her a ton of credit for pushing through. Finished up with 4.0uw … with 55+ credits that carried thru (including the grades!).

Second year at college, technically a junior and still rocking a 4.0. We are so proud of her.

Younger sib, current senior….is already feelin’ the onset. We’ll see how how it goes. :p[/quote]

Was it an online program and had no HS classes?[/quote]

Not PP but this sounds basically the same as early college in MCPS. Classes are taken in person at the college with non-dual enrolled students.[/quote]

so it is classes only with other HS students and not with adult-college students? I heard some places have this as a very common thing[/quote]
(Sorry for a bit of derail but probably not worth a new thread so I’ll answer here.)

For the most part, yes. It’s a class full of fellow HSers enrolled in the same program. Ours used to be held on the CC campus but they now have enough students enrolled to have the classes at the HS with CC-certified instructors.* Our DC had a scheduling conflict one semester and took the course with other “regular/adult” CC students.

* For those who might think the instructors aren’t as good….our experience has been otherwise. Hands down some of the best we’ve had in our whole K-12 journey. They run it (pace wise, amount and rigor of content, grading practices) just like college (regardless of CC or 4-yr). [/quote]

Generally, the instructors are not as good and the content is 100% different in FCPS. [/quote]
😞 I’m really sorry to hear that. The program has been a success here in RVA and with JSRCC. Just goes to show you that [i]implementation[/i] is key and differences abound even within a school, Division, state. Not unlike a lot of things in life, I suppose. YMMV.

But your observation explains a lot of the unfavorable criticism of DE classes/credits here on DCUM. [/quote]

Since your child took one in person class, it’s not possible to know if the HS classes were generally the same as far as rigor, curriculum, grading, classmate engagement and input, and breadth. [/quote]
