Is honors chemistry hard?

I always say the difficulty of any class depends on the teacher. First, each teacher has a certain amount of ability to get material across to students. The teacher could be quite adept in that or weak. Secondly, each teacher structures his or her class. Do they take a lot of grades? Are they an easy grader? Are they organized? Does he or she create fair assessments? One class to another varies greatly depending on the instructor. My ds took honors chemistry in 10th grade and it was a bear! The teacher knew his chemistry but couldn’t explain it for the life of him. He also recycled old tests and often he hadn’t covered material that he was testing. He had taught the material during a previous class but not in this one. My suggestion is to research the quality of the teacher you will have and make your decision from there. I have found “word of mouth” about instructors tends to be spot on.
