It can vary by teacher, but the standard is A- and above, though like I said, there will be some students who got in with a B+ because their teacher loved them.

If you are interested in/good at both U.S. History and English, then you might consider taking American Studies in your junior year. The class meets for 2 periods and combines AP US History with Honors English, except the numerical designation for both is 375 (instead of 350 for English and 355 for History). This is a really hard class. I was offered to take it, but declined, opting to take AP US and Honors English seperately, and my grades have really benefited. It is a lot harder to do well in this class, and many “Humanities” people who take it must settle with a B+ or B instead of an A- in the “normal” Honors/AP section. Sorry for the lengthy explanation, but its there in case you are interested.
