@topaz1116 My school is so small that the largest class has 20 people on it.
@Cornbread1999 hahaha xD I like CS, but not to the extent that I’d want to major in it. Too… desk-y for me. I like actually doing something. Hence the fields of engineering that are really more R&D than engineering.
I’m probably taking Calc BC next year? Unless I fail the next math test and final and I can’t switch out of Calc AB if the former does occur (apparently it’s not very hard to switch out even if you don’t meet the prerequisites (an A- or above in H. Precalc), so that’s a relief). If I do end up in AB, I’m probably going to take C++/Discrete senior year or something.
@Faultystart that’s a really, really small class… I don’t think any classes (save maybe APES? I think APES is small because fewer and fewer people have been signing up… but I’m pretty sure APES is at least 25 people) are that small at my school.
@topaz1116 I go to a really really small private school. I think there are usually 60-80 kids in every grade. Actually this year we’ve had the most kids in high school at once. School didn’t have enough lockers.
@Faultystart so… small… Is there a lot of drama at your school? There’s a school like that nearby and there’s lots of drama. It’s a K-12 school with 950 students… I’m assuming there’s fewer students in the lower school, but that’s still under 100 kids in a grade.
@Faultystart Wow if a class was that small my school would make you take it online by yourself (if they even offer the course online).
If enough people signed up for it, I could be in Shakespeare Studies or World Religions, but alas the students in my school lack a desire to take such classes. It’s a shame for me 
My AP World History class only has 28 people, that’s the least I’ve had in high school. The most was 39 (excluding PE, which has around 60), I believe, and classes usually have around 35 people. I think there are so little in that class because its 6th period (last period of the school day) and some sports people have to leave early some days and they don’t want to miss an important class. My school has about 3600 students, though.
@dsi411 and I thought my school was big. Your school is 1.6 times the size of mine…
@topaz1116 Surprisingly, no, there’s not much drama. No one is really dating; most people talk about academics. The most dramatic thing that may have happened this year is when my friend accidentally ran away while someone was asking her to the school dance, but that’s about it.
@SirSly My school has no way of offering online classes. I’m also in Algebra II Honors!
Bowling is picking up, and there is no way I’ll ever get back to my house before six ;(
@sirsly I am also in honors algebra 2 right now and will be in precalc honors next year and I will still be doing stats. Idk if this is a bad idea to do 2 different maths in one year but MATH!!! yes statistics! I will be positive about this
I go to a small catholic school its about 75ish kids in my grade. I still don’t know some of the people in my grade because they are not in my classes. There is drama yes and everyone knows everything about each other and talk s*** about each other. But secretly we all love each other haha
EDIT: JUST KIDDING we dont love each other
@dsi411 Holy crap 28 students is the average for my school for an academic classroom. The cap is I think 30 students per class, and for my gym class we have about 45-50 (although of course half the class never shows up).
@calchong It’s possible to do that, since a lot of people consider AP Stats a math elective. I believe you can do it! I’m more of an English/History fanatic so I’m taking AP World and APUSH next year. I’ll save AP Euro for senior year since I won’t have any other social studies class (I’m already taking Government right now).
@Calchong 2 Maths in one year is definitely possible (at least in my school), and I know people who have taken Precalc and Stats in the same year. I think you’ll be fine. Unfortunately. I know all of the people in my grade. Even the annoying ones.
Ugh, I have to petition to take two sciences next year and I don’t want to petition 
@SirSly Those classes sound cool!
Is anyone else concerned about possible schedule conflicts? We aren’t registering for classes next year yet, but I’m really worried. Three of the classes I want to take (Newspaper-NECESSITY as ambitious, dedicated section editor, APUSH, and a TA class so I can be my middle school teacher’s assistant) may conflict with each other.
Newspaper is always second period both semesters. APUSH, this year, was only offered second period as well, though in previous years, it varied. The TA class is usually offered second period first semester and again in second semester, though I’m not sure if it’s second or third period.
I’m honestly really stressed about this. LOL. I know I’d choose Newspaper over the rest, but it could potentially suck.
@Faultystart At my school, you can take as many sciences as you want (my sister took Anatomy, Physics, and Geosystems junior year) and last year my teacher recommended Chem HN with IB Physics (I decided not to take Physics though because I needed Econ to graduate).
Which sciences do you want to take?
@Calchong I am in Honors Pre-Calc and AP Stat this year and it really isn’t that bad. Stat isn’t really math at all, it’s more interpreting and analyzing and then simple math to go along with it and memorization. You’ll be fine.
@MissSuzyQ Yeah, I’m worried about schedule conflicts for AP Chemistry and Anatomy and Physiology because there is only one class of each, and this year they both meet during the same times.
@SirSly I want to take Anatomy and Physiology and AP Chemistry next year, and AP Physics (our school only offers AP Physics C (I don’t know if it’s E&M or Mechanics) ) and AP Biology Senior year. I like sciences 
I think I need to petition because science classes meet 6/10 times in our 10 day rotational schedule as opposed to the normal 5/10 or 4/10.
By the way, how long are everyone’s classes? For example, mine are 80 minutes long, and I have four a day.
AP World History midterm on Thursday…Somebody kill me please…I need a 90+ on it and it’s not even curved and the teacher’s tests are notoriously hard.
@faultystart My school does a rotating schedule
All periods are 58 minutes long, passing periods are 8 minutes long.
@MissSuzyQ at my school, so many people sign up for (most; a few courses like Journalism, Leadership, Yearbook, Creative Writing/Public Speaking, APES, and a whole host of courses that the course catalog says my school offers but we don’t do not have many people taking them either because of applications or lack of interest) most courses that there generally aren’t schedule conflicts. We have two periods of Journalism, 3rd and 4th (I desperately hope I get 4th if I get in next year), so there are quite a few people taking them; mostly, the scheduling system figures out how to give people the classes that they want.
@Faultystart my school has the same schedule every day; six periods a day, 53 minutes per period, 7 minute passing periods + 25 minute advisory/read at beginning of third period + 4 minute break in addition to passing period in between second and third period. Our classes are 47 minutes long + passing period + break + no read on Wednesdays, when school starts an hour later and we get a longer lunch. There’s a zero period (Peer Resource) which starts at 7:00 on normal days and meets at lunch on Wednesdays; there are two seventh periods: Marching Band (which only meets two-three times a week and for 2.5-3 hours) and Musical Theater (I think they meet every day? I dunno).
@Cornbread1999 8 minutes in between classes sounds great. I’d prefer not to have to sprint from Speech to Chemistry all the time. We have 10 different schedules that rotate. To be honest, I’m sick of memorizing 10 different schedules every semester.
