<p>i just counted. i think it’s 19 but some courses get canceled. and some courses like Hon American Lit, basically “prepares” you for the exam. and macro/micro economics are the same class. and </p>
<p>a lot of kids take US government and politics even though we don’t have a class for it</p>
<p>I go to a huge public (3200 students) and I think our school has the largest number of APs offered in the state. We have nearly a 90% pass rate.
The ones we offer:</p>
<p>art history
biology
calc AB/BC and linear algebra but that’s not an AP
chemistry
computer science AB
micro econ
macro econ
english language
english lit
euro history
french language
german language
gov and politics comparitive
gov and politics U.S.
human geography
music theory
physics B
psychology
spanish language
statistics
studio art drawing
studio art pottery
U.S. history</p>
<p>That’s 25 total. Geez, I’ve only take 7 of them.</p>
<p>What state are you in? It’s incredible that Spanish is one of two they don’t offer. At my school in Colorado, the only languages they have are German, French, Spanish (definitely the most popular, with like 4 times as many people as the other languages), and Latin.</p>

<p>How many sections of each course do your schools tend to offer? My school offers almost always one, and that tends to cause some scheduling conflicts.</p>
<p>15 I think
It seems like much less… since so many of them are science/technology that I wouldn’t take or languages (because you’d only take one, your foreign language). I really want Economics or Psychology but nyahh
Some of you guys are really lucky.</p>
<p>My school offers a lot, but there are a few that don’t wind up being taught a school year because of lack of interest. These are all the APs that we can sign up for and have teachers to teach, but the ones that aren’t taught every year are denoted by an asterisk:</p>

<p>My school is small and in a working class, blue-collar town. A fairly large amount of my class isn’t graduating, and another big group of them aren’t going on to college. Of the college bound students, about half are thinking of community college. I’ve never heard of anyone from our school going anywhere prestigious (UW-Madison is about as competitive as we get, though one girl from last year did go to Northwestern). On top of that, we can barely get enough people to take these AP courses (7 in Eng, 11 in Calc), so we can’t afford to add any more. We also don’t have very good teachers. I don’t think anyone’s ever gotten a 5 in anything at our school. Our AP Gov teacher shows up to school either hungover or a little high, and all we talked about was basketball and other sports. We also don’t have many honors courses (only four I think, and three are English).</p>
<p>As you can imagine, I’m a little confused when I read posts that say “we only have <insert comparatively=”" large=“” number=“” here=“”> AP classes at my school and I don’t think I’ll have enough to get into <insert big,=“” fancy=“” school=“” here=“”>. "</insert></insert></p>

<p>And, after lobbying the district constantly for weeks, we might have three more for next year:</p>

AP Physics C- Mech</p>
<p>There was enough interest in my school for these classes and teachers to teach them, but the school and district administrators were stubborn, and, for some reason, refused to initially allow these classes to be taught. It took several emails to the director of curriculum of the district and weekly visits to our AP coordinator to get these classes on the schedule…</p>
