<p>Ok, so I have been researching this school here in Kentucky called, The Carol Martin Academy for Mathematics and Science. This seems like a very good school to go to for my junior and seniors years of high school. The only problem I have is occurring is that almost all the classes there are college classes. So should I try and go there, where I’ll be taking challenging coursesand getting say a 3.7 GPA, or should I stay in regular high school and have some ap classes? Also, once junior and senior year are over, I’ll have 60 hours of college credit done.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in the programs that are offered at the school, and feel like you would really be able to benefit from the experience, you should go for it. What was it about the school that you were conflicted about, other than the harder classes?</p>
<p>The high school experience. This is a private academy, so about 60 people get in out of maybe 300. Should I stay with a regular school option and experience everything,or go with this option, where I would be challenged?</p>
<p>@fourXsquared I think that you can only grow from challenging yourself. If there are no factors like money that are getting in the way of you going to the private school, you should go for it. </p>
<p>You kind of make it seem as if you would be limited if you went to the private school, but I wouldn’t look at it that way. Yes, you would have different opportunities at each school, but which is right for you can only be determined by you. I go to a small magnet school, and while there aren’t as many clubs, sports, or classes offered, but I’m able to get technology certifications and have more leadership positions. I would be focusing on what you want to get out of high school, and what both schools have to offer for that cause.</p>
<p>Alright. Thanks!</p>
<p>I go to Gatton. The 60 hours of credit is a minimum. I think I will have over 100 by the time I graduate. However, every single class is taught on campus through WKU, so it is entirely college courses. There isn’t really much of a difference between the high school experiences here and those at my home school, other than we have no sports.</p>
<p>You go to gatton?! That’s so great! Do you mind to answer some questions I have?</p>
<p>Sure</p>
