When you post, separate your paragraphs.

Our school district didn’t really handle the Avid program well and a number of those students did eventually improve in their English skills but I don’t recall those students applying to our dominant state uni’s. Most did community college.

I can’t comment on your district/school but I would make sure that you ask for a strong English class. An honors class might be tough, but you could try. Our children had an excellent AP Art history teacher but the paperwork was voluminous.

You have to organize your binder; our bright son had us purchase the Costco zip binders ($14 for a three pack), for his AP classes, since many of the teachers had each student turn in related vocab cards or their memory sticks. There were multiple handouts, references, blue books, etc. All of that had to be organized and the Costco binders were not as bulky as regular 3-ring binders.
