[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent from another DMV school: the shift away from APs has hurt these students. Families are told the schools know the rigor of your curriculum. Maybe they do, but how much do they care when they spend a couple of minutes on each application? And if you want to apply to the UC schools or ones abroad, good luck without any APs. A little more guidance early on would have been helpful. But yes, I'm very happy about the education and opportunities dc has received at this DMV independent school. [/quote] The students still take the AP tests, it is simply that the classes are not called "AP XXXX" in the school's listings or transcript.[/quote] The problem is that the honors classes don't specifically prepare you for AP tests so kids have to study separately which is difficult with the homework load of the rigorous privates.[/quote]
