Emeraldkitty, CP courses are just regular grade-level courses. Honors courses are taught at a faster pace, and AP courses follow the national AP curriculum for that subject. CP courses have the stigma of being “remedial” even though they are not. It’s just that most kids want to be in the more competitive classes.

My son took all CP classes his freshman year and I think he was very well-taught, with the possible exception of Alg II, which didn’t cover all the material he needed for pre-calc. But he did catch up and took all honors his soph. year, and is taking AP and honors classes his junior year.
