Relevance?


The relevance is that the kid can report those 5s as part of college application. Another accomplishment.

I am happy STA offers AP classes. I took several in highschool and it was helpful to be able to get those credits in college and lighten my course load in college a few semesters plus the classes were interesting.

What this mainly due to the scope of the class being so narrow they couldn’t make up the rest of the college breadth curriculum? We have the same concern.

Of course they are. The other schools were just naive to join a pact with them.

I'm not sure how this will reflect on NCS specifically. I have (younger) kids at both schools.


The “consortium?” You mean cartel.

NCS still has AP Classes


Only math and language. They dropped the humanities and I've heard are dropping the sciences and maybe math.
