@sternyc 8/10, if there are language honors courses offered. 9/10 if no honors language courses are offered (Freshman year). Sophomore year is 7/10 if language courses do have honors options, and it is a 8.5/10 if there are not honors language classes.
Predicted Junior year:
English 11 Honors (equilalent to AP Lang)
AP Spanish Language
AP Chemistry
Anatomy and Physiology (no honors offered)
AP US History
Precalculus Honors (will be in AP Calculus BC if I successfully flex-credit over the summer)
Programming I and II (each is a semester, prerequisites for AP Computer Science)
@Faultystart 10/10 Your schedule looks really rigorous. I like how your school offers Programing I and II to get you ready for AP Computer Science. I’m doing it next year but I hear they changing it to AP Computer Science Principles next year or the year after. I also heard they aren’t teaching programming in that new course.
Freshmen ( Current):
H Biology
H English
H Geography
Accel Geometry
Health/ New Media
P.E
Sophomore Year:
AP Computer Science ( Principles?)
AP Chemistry
AP World History
AP Spanish Lang
H English
H Precalc
Buisness Academy
P.E
English 9
World History 9
Biology (no honors)
Agri-Science (pre req for animal science electives)
Spanish 1 (no honors)
Wind Ensemble/Symphonic Band
PE/Study Hall
Should I take an elective instead of a study hall? There aren’t any honors or AP classes available
@IrrationalPepsi, the person who rated her or his post deleted their own. That’s why my post is so out of context. @Faultystart, there are no language honors for us. Why such a low rating?? Constructive criticism welcome
@sternyc I tend to not give out many 9’s or 10’s, for one. I try to rate the schedules I see on here without basing my ratings off of my school’s rigor/options available. We have the option to do a summer gym class to get out of freshman/sophomore gym requirements, so I probably assumed that you had the same option also, sorry.
I’m not quite sure whcih AP Physics you’ll be taking in sophomore year, and so I assumed it was AP Physics 1. I’m also not sure if you’re taking the Photography course to fill a fine arts requirement (and it’s perfectly fine if you are), but that course choice probably lowered the score I gave you a bit. Going back to what I said in my first paragraph about how I try not to let my school’s rigor/options affect my score I gave you, I must admit that I failed in that. At my school, non honors/AP courses are known for being very easy, and that probably affected my scores for you.
For the most part, the somewhat low scores I gave you were based mostly on me and my thoughts, and not as much based on your course selection.
Wish, @Faultystart, thanks for that detailed explanation. Yeah, I’m doing summer PE in this summer to satisfy sophomore gym requirements. However, there is absolutely no way to get out of freshman PE.
Photography is also because I really like it, and want to explore it, also for a VPA requirement, and because I’m planning on doing the full IB program, I need to be able to take an IB art, and this is a prerequisite.
At my high school, Spanish is really rigorous, but Chinese is a joke. My teacher this year is moving away, so next year will be rigorous. Thank you very much! And don’t apologize so much.
At least you HAVE AP’s. My school is way too small for those.
I’m a sophomore right now. The following are about as difficult as I can do at the tiny, rural school I go to. There are no honors or AP classes. In order to graduate at the end of my Junior year (next year), I plan to take a composition class at the local community college over summer and these courses next year:
-English 3
-Trig (highest level of math available to me)
-Physics
-American History
-Computer Programming (1 semester) and Composition 2 (1 semester)
-Spanish 4 (highest level of Spanish offered)
-College Biology
-Government (online, 1 semester)
I’m aware graduating early seems to be a bad choice, but there is just about nothing else the school can offer me, so staying an extra year is a waste of my time.
Your course load seems to be good considering the lack of options presented to you.
Senior year:
AP Lang
UHS Spanish 5(college credit)
Physics
Government and Economics
Trig/Pre Calc
UHS Psych(college credit)(1 semester)
CIEP(internship program-I’ll be doing middle school special ed)(1 semester)
Plus required PE
This leaves me 3 study halls per 4 day rotation each semester
@DoritoDemon618 I feel your pain of going to a rural school. I’ll post my schedule, but let it be known that there are almost no AP classes, no honors but English, and calc BC isn’t offered.
To the poster above me: That’s very good; I assume there’s no honors offered for Spanish. 9.5/10
Honors English 3
AP Calculus AB ~
CP Government
DE Physics (algebra-based)
Digital Electronics (PLTW)
Spanish 4
DE English Comp I & II (gets me out of senior year english hehe)
DE General Psychology
DE Microeconomics
DE Oral Communications
It seems some people were skipped, so I’ll provide my own ratings for their schedules. If anyone wants to know why I gave the score I gave, feel free to send me a message. @HSTeen Freshman: 8/10, Sophomore: 9/10. @CanChaser02 Freshman: 8/10 @IBGuy101 9.5/10 @DoritoDemon618 The person below you provided some feedback, but if you want a numbered score, just message me or something. @ThatOneWeirdGuy I’ll leave your schedule to be rated by the next person who posts a schedule.
