<p>runnersmom,
I believe that Scarsdale made the right decision, and I applaud the district & its supporting community of families for departing from the crowd. I see that a few schools in the NE have also done this in the last few years, and a very few in my area have similarly done so. (Correction, one in my area has not abandoned the AP’s altogether, but easily half of the advanced style of classes are non-AP, in-depth unique classes not available at other high schools, & offered by teachers with advanced knowledge in those subjects.) </p>
<p>I predict that this will start happening more quickly, and very soon. I agree that students taking such courses will not be at a disadavantage iin admissions.</p>
