No.  It is a valid question.  Seems some people on here have lost sight of why we have schools.  They seem to think that shifting kids around will improve their education.[/quote]

Yeah, God forbid more poor kids have the opportunity to take language or math classes at the wealthier schools that their schools don't offer.

DP.  What classes are offered at "wealthier" schools that are not offered at other schools?  Be specific.[/quote]you have to look school to school. Classes have to have a minimum  number of students to sign up to be able to have them.  As a result, in schools where there are a higher % of students taking multiple APs, there will be more offered and more classes of each. When you have more classes of each, it makes it much easier to schedule.  Same with language classes, if you have more students taking them, the school can support a variety of languages to offer.  Size matter too, the larger schools have an advantage too.

So why don't more students sign up for classes in their current schools?[/quote] Not everyone takes APs and the number of students taking APs is generally correlated to SES, so the schools with Higher % of high SES and low poverty students tend to offer more of those classes. [/quote]
