Please, look into that schedule.
Your child should not be taking APES if they’re taking AP Chem. 4 APs a year is plenty. Same thing for senior year, no need for her to take more than 4 APs and 1 honors class.
If she goes to bed at 1 or 2, it’s a HUGE problem for her health. It also means her schedule is not well-balanced and if she’s doing it for college, it may be meaningless since after 8 AP’s the law of diminishing returns applies. With AP Lit, AP Chem, APUSH, AP World, AP Calc, all she needs to have a “perfect record” is AP Spanish and/or AP Physics 1 (or AP Physics C AFTER she took Honors Physics) + anything of her choice. That’s it. There’s nothing else, nothing more even Harvard or MIT or Stanford or Pomona or Wellesley would want - and even if she didn’t have that, it wouldn’t exclude her from consideration.
As Stanford put it “It’s not a game of who has the most Ap’s, wins”.
14 is way overkill
Please look at her current schedule and especially at next year’s schedule to see what can be cut and ensure she can get 7-8h of sleep a night as a junior/senior.
(AP Calc BC, AP Spanish, AP Physics 1, and one more AP would be plenty for senior year).
