I've always wondered: Why can't some schools boast large AP programs as other schools do?

  1. Money (Especially if a functional lab and supplies are needed; I saw one DC private school with a 'virtual lab' for dissections etc)
  2. School size (Enough kids to fill the class? Some schools won't run a class with fewer than 8 kids, for instance)
  3. Student preparedness/interest/parent demand (Which is really money, in a different outfit)
  4. Equivalent options (Is it easier to send the kids 2 blocks over for a DE class?)
