[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had 14 APs and 7 post-APs and that is considered the most rigorous for this high school.[/quote]

Can you list these classes? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what this schedule would have looked like over 4 years.

It has been several years and I am going off my memory so I may have left out 1 or 2 courses but:

APs: AP Comp Sci, AP Cal BC, AP Stat, AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Spanish, AP Physics M/EM, AP Econ Micro, AP Econ Macro, AP US Hist, AP English, AP Spanish Lit, AP US Govt.

Post APs: Linear Algebra, Multi, Diffy (DE), Complex Variables, DNA Science I, DNA Science II, Orgo, Machine Learning (ML) I, ML II, Artificial Intelligence (AI) I, AI II.[/quote]

I would consider that to be rigorous.[/quote]

Hmmm... I don't know. Looks like they skipped out on AP World History and only took 1 AP English? I think that downgrades to an "almost rigorous" rating in AOs' opinions, and the student will not have much of a chance at T20 schools.[/quote]

TJ students cannot take AP World History and also cannot take AP English until senior year. This student clearly has a chance at top 10 according to the rigor of the schedule depending on the grades. TJ students also take many TJ specific required courses that are "Honors' level but very rigorous.[/quote]
