It depends on what the highest level of classes offered at your school are. For example, does your school offer honors geometry or chemistry?

Do you think mine is rigorous enough? Feel free to post your own.
Geometry
English 3/4 Honors
AP World History
Voice 3/4 Class (French/English Classical songs)
Girls Chorus
Music Theory
Chemistry
French 3/4
I'm hoping to take AP Music Theory and Trigonometry as self-study classes.

No, no honors math or science classes. You can just move ahead a year (i.e., Geometry to Trig)

Yeah that`s rigorous enough...I hate how my school does things...only certain classes can be Honors....otherwise they have this thing called T/A...you get a .5 to your GPA like honors, but it`s not very challenging.
Mine`s not challenging at all...next year and senior year=big improvement to right now...if I want to get into USNA, then I gotta step it up.
Geometry T/A
AP World history
Journalism 3
Earth Science (I hate this class...it`s SOOO easy it`s boring, I don`t like the kids in it, and would be in Chem right now if I had a higher math class. They don`t let us in without Alg. 2 This is a dead-end class and I would`ve benefited from Chem more than this)
Gym/Drivers Ed
English T/A
Shaywood, How do you like AP W History?

It's a lot of note taking. Listening skills are key; my teacher uses a smartboard, but she changes the page every two minutes, even though there is a ton of information. You learn to summarize and find the main idea of a lot of topics. It's all about analyzing. The class moves really quickly too; in the past week, I've had to deal with a project, an essay (due tomorrow), and a test. It's really important to memorize dates, names, and time periods. Ugh...I hate all the work, but my teacher is good/cool, and I'm learning a lot.

My school is fairly large (2500 students) and competitive, so we have four class distinctions: AP > Gifted > Honors > CP. With that in mind, my schedule is:
AP Environmental Science
Gifted Language Arts
Honors Spanish III (no Gifted offered)
AP World History
AP Chemistry
Lunch
Gifted Pre-Calculus
AP Computer Science A (online)

@Shaywood....yeah, lots of notetaking...we don`t actually learn that many dates, more of just themes and stuff. We have a whole list of assignments that are due on the day of each unit test. Do you guys have to read those articles by David Christian?

Shaywood I don't find Euro hard, but have no other AP class to compare it to. In my school we have like 3 to 10 questions a night to answer after reading the textbook pages assigned. It usually takes on average 40 mins. Overall I just don't really like the teacher and the class that much though.
