[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're at yorktown, not W-L, but my kid has a mix of AP and non-AP classes and I didn't really notice much difference between the two at back to school night. There seems to be a fair amount of academic rigor in the non-AP classes too. There isn't a huge difference between the two schools, as far as I can tell. Both have a lot of expensive housing in-bounds, and a lot of smart, successful parents at both. [/quote]

LOL you're not going to get a real sense of that at back to school night!  C'mon.

We sent three kids to Yorktown.  There's a huge difference between regular and AP classes.[/quote]

OP here. My concern is not so much rigor (because my kid likely is just average in those non-AP subjects) but rather whether those non-AP classes actually teach to the average kids and minimize distruption, or not. A lot of this has to do with how the administration handles discpline and the quality of the teaching staff.[b] Also Yorktown and W-L are not really equivalent[/b]. [/quote]

OP, please be clear - what are you actually saying here? [/quote]
