Is this considered "senior slump"?

My son is currently a junior. He is taking 4 APs and 3 Honors this year. He is planning to take 4 APs and 1 Honor in his senior year. As you can see, the number of the courses he is going to take is reduced, although the rigor is not. But, is this considered a kind of “senior slump”?

I have read some articles about senior slump. I have seen some examples about what it is. But none of those examples fits my son’s case. For instance, one example is a student takes 5 academic courses in junior year, but then he only takes 4 electives in senior year. This is an obvious case of senior slump.

Am I worried too much?
