[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Herndon High Parents only - all Dranesville candidates are advocating for keeping Langley students at Langley. What would you like your representative to do for you and our high school? I don't have kids there yet so are there things you would like to see changed?

One thing I would like to know in terms of equity is whether the same AP classes are running at Herndon (I mean actually running, not just listed in the course catalog) vs. another high school like McLean.[/quote]

Not a Herndon parent, but I would also like to know if Herndon is  able to run the same AP classes as the nearby high schools.

What does the PTA have to say about issues like this?[/quote] The AP classes (or any classes really) are determined by how many students sign up for them.  You need a minimum of 19 students.  Sometimes, they can wiggle it a bit, for example with journalism you can have three levels in the same class and assign students different things to do.  Level IV and AP even foreign language sometimes do this too.  Art classes can do this as well.

If you get close to the max number of students, sometimes the school doesnt let others in or limited the number of classes offered. This happened to us with our child with AP Chem at McLean and a friend’s child in AP Physics C, also at McLean.
