<p>One can call a course AP/Honors/Regular but the proof is in the pudding.</p>
<p>At our HS (the ‘best’ in the city), about 100 of 500 seniors (20%) take Calc AB (BC is not offered). Sounds reasonable until you find out that only about 30 of those kids actually even take the AP test and the one year I heard about, 17 kids (3% of the senior class) ‘passed’ meaning 3 or above. </p>
<p>So just because one is in ‘AP’ class doesn’t necessarily mean jack squat. It’s all in the execution.</p>
