[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD (in LCPS) was not allowed to take Aps freshman year and only one (AP World History) sophomore year. This is typical of LCPS. For her junior year, when she signed up for three APs (Calc AB, US History and Language/Comp.) along with DE Physics, her guidance counselor wanted to make sure she knew what she was getting into. She understood and, while it’s been a lot of work this year, she’s handling it well. Based on her counselor’s reaction, I think this kind of schedule was unusual.

However, I’ve heard of students (not in LCPS) finishing with 12-15 APs, and that’s not possible unless you start with one or two each during freshman/sophomore year. Some school districts encourage this because it makes them look good.

Our DD plans to take 4 or 5 APs senior year in subjects that interest her, but these will also be her only classes. Her senior year will look more like a college schedule, which was the plan.

Is she doing Early Release?  Is that the general consensus at LCPS, that only taking 5 classes senior year is "most rigorous?"

I would think a heavy load of APs and Early Release for a purpose like a job or internship would be fine in the eyes of admissions.[/quote]
