[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not choosing RMIB for the same commute/community aspects you point out about CAP, OP. We live close to Blair,  and our Eastern 8th grader has decided he wants to continue with his friends/program at CAP.

As for the science - they are putting kids into AP Physics at Blair as freshmen, which I think seems crazy. But I guess they'll have a cohort? They can't possibly be ready for that as 14/15 year olds, right?!?! Is that happening at other schools? Why the rush? The Bio-Chem-Physics pathway just seems more sensible.

I'm the PP whose kid is still considering CAP.  I looked at the course registration options and saw that it says, "Students taking Algebra or Geometry in grade 9 should take Biology (on-level or Honors)
Students taking Algebra II or higher should take either Honors Biology, Honors Physics or AP Physics 1 (math intensive)".  Honors biology just seems to make so much more sense than AP physics, especially given that this class of kids had a less-than-optimal virtual Algebra I experience. [/quote]
