<p>Surprised to see the number of replies. She is a likely STEM major (wants to major in Math, looking at actuary/analyst type of career path). She’s in a public high school, they tend to slot students in middle school. She wasn’t slotted in to any advance courses, in fact we had to fight to get her enrolled in the regular science course sequence. </p>
<p>She had a tough freshman year and had lots of C’s, but hasn’t had a C since. She had only one semester since with 2 B’s, and has had A’s 5 out of 6 courses every other semester. </p>
<p>She does well and works at it each night, dedicating herself to homework assignments and studying. I feel like she has earned the right to try. She has had only one AP course, and is doing well in it. She has had 5 years of French, although the school doesn’t offer it as a AP class, I’m not sure if anyone does. </p>
<p>I’m just worried that if she ends up at a school where she is at the bottom of the curve, she may find it difficult. I didn’t have any AP classes either, in fact her schedule was just like mine, with the exception of her foreign language courses. I ended up OK, no problems in math or anything, I’m just worried about how much it may have changed. I am frankly especially worried about her writing ability and her English courses. They just don’t write as much as I would like to see.</p>
