[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really. Overwhelmed by the party scene, thinks classes are easy (after attending a rigorous private but the college doesn’t take APs, so basically retaking the equivalent of AP Calc and AP Chem, which he aced the first time). Too much free time after being constantly busy in high school. A friend group and a job would fix a lot of his problems! I’m worried and even a little sad for him but have to just wait and see.

Did the school not have a math placement test? I'm concerned about this for my HS Jr.[/quote]

Didn't read all the comments so am not sure this has been addressed--have your kid take the AP tests at another HS so they can place out of at least math, foreign language, and English. Mine from a rigorous DMV HS without APs, got 5's in English (both the lang and the lit ones) and AP Calc BC with very little study (during junior year). Will take foreign lang this year (senior year).  Check Churchill or Whitman HS in MD, or Basis McLean in VA (doesn't have to be in your home state--those are just known for offering the tests to outside students for $$).[/quote]
