Well, I am in Honors Regents in World History, but I waiting for my final semester grade for that class, before I talk to any teachers about my interest in honors classes. I am still in junior high to senior high transition mode, so I might need some assurance.

I have been at this school since 7th Grade, but honors placement was based on 8th Grade performance. I did get an A average in 8th Grade, but I was outperformed by some of my peers. Honors placement is teacher reccommendation, so yes, it is harder to get in than public schools, where you just take the class if you sign up. It is also hard, because there’s just so many honors classes you can have with the right cailber students and so much room. All honors classes are full, so I might not be in any honors classes, next year. However, when we start having APs in junior year, we have more spots for honors, because half of the former honors students will be jumped to AP.
