[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In many of the Catholic schools you need a high grade and a teacher rec to get into Honors or AP classes. They have more traditional course offerings so there are not as many choices as you would see in public schools. [/quote] Having minimum requirements is not particular. SJC has minimum grade requirements to get into honors or AP. There is nothing wrong with that. [/quote] It is probably necessary at a big school, but it does limit a student who goes through a rough patch. It gives kids no room to stretch and grow and no grace for messing up. If you struggle at any point, you are off track for rigorous college prep even if you get your act together after adjusting. Not saying SJC should change, but that parents need to know going in that there is little room for error. It will be limiting for some kids who could have taken a more rigorous course load elsewhere.[/quote]
