Is this considered "senior slump"?

Here’s a good benchmark:

If any of his classes have the letters AP, meaning “Advanced Placement,” in front of them…he’s probably not “slumping.”

There’s more to learning and way more to senior year than just taking classes. Is he “cutting back” on his number of honors courses so he can do something else? If so, that’s definitely a good idea and will help him in the long run. He won’t always be able to take a ton of difficult classes, so being able to focus part of his time on academics and still have some leftover so he can focus part of his time on other activities is a good skill to learn.

Give him a break! Sounds like a very high-achieving, bright, motivated kid that will do just fine for his senior year.
