[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that Cardozo has an Engineering academy but no physics (not even on-level) and no AP Calculus BC. [/quote]

Students can be interested in engineering and benefit from engineering classes while not being accelerated in math.  I don’t understand why everyone assumes thematic stem academies are only for students significantly above grade level.  They do have physics.[/quote]

You don’t have to be above grade level to take AP Calculus BC your senior year. I believe the reason people expect you to be advanced in STEM for an Engineering Academy is that you would not be able to get through an Engineering degree in college without high STEM proficiency. Isn’t the objective of a high school engineering academy to propel more students into engineering? [/quote]

Calc BC means you do a full year of college math in HS.  That is definitely above grade level.  Not genus level work but above grade level.  There are engineering college programs that do not require calculus in HS.  [/quote]
