[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sophomore is at a top high school in the area and the counselor highly advises kids against taking AP courses. I feel like they are set kids up for failure. [/quote]

Well counselor is setting kid up for failure because she’s kid’s course rigor is being compared to kids who did take APs.[/quote]

It is not “failure”.

Let’s normalize teen years without mental breakdowns. F the hyper-competitive high school culture. 2-3 APs late in high school is enough to prove college readiness. Stop the insanity. [/quote]

I suspect PP is at private school. My sophomore hasn't taken any APs, plans 2 for next year and will likely graduate with 4-5 total. This is typical at our private school.

Is this the same at other DC private schools? For instance the "Big 3" or similar, which are phasing out AP courses? Do students typically take AP exams nonetheless at those schools?

My DC at big 3 and will have taken 7 AP exams by senior year. Just because classes are phased out, doesn’t mean kids don’t take them. [/quote]

Many schools are phasing them out such that current sophomores will not have any AP courses on their transcripts, but 2022/23 grads will. Sitting for the test is certainly an option for these students as well. There was a lengthy thread about it recently, in the private school forum I believe.
