[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have your child take the most challenging courses they desire at the high school that is offered to them.[/quote] FCPS has high schools that offer AP and other high schools that offer IB. All FCPS high schools offer honors courses. Some students would do better with the AP program and other students would do better with the IB program. High school course sequences have to be planned out early, as many students in FCPS are taking their first high school courses in middle school (math and world languages). Therefore, parents are trying to plan course sequences, alongside decisions surrounding high school curricular transfer requests (in some cases), in middle school. (And this doesn't take into account some of the excellent Academy course offerings in FCPS.)[/quote]
