[quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to mention that none of the magnet classes are AP, because the teachers do not teach to the test. Rather they go deeper than AP for a particular group of kids that are interested in these subjects in a serious way and or need more challenge. All the magnet kids are prepared and do well on the Calc BC and Stats and Computer Science APs as a rule, regardless. The sciences are different - rather than taking AP Physics they take Magnet Quantum Physics or Thermodynamics. They take Magnet Physical or Organic and or Analytical Chemistry rather than AP chem. The teachers have great latitude in what they teach and are by and large fantastic. For humanities, on the other hand, they are taking AP histories and English and foreign languages as non-magnet classes. My kid loves both humanities and the sciences and is very happy, but definitely you need to have a kid that revels in these subjects.[/quote]
