Our students don’t test well on the AP tests either, but that’s no reason to drop them. It’s proof the quality of teacher is lacking so the school should make improvements in that area.

As for AP vs. DC, it’s hands down DC every time, imo. If you fail the AP test, then it’s a wasted year. OTOH, in a DC class you have college credit in your hands and it can’t be taken away.

BTW, we have GT in elementary. Middle school has honors classes and a couple hs level classes. Students get “credit” per say for those classes and can take the next level once they’re in hs but their middle school grades for those classes are not counted in their hs GPA. In hs, we have Pre-AP, AP, and DC and all three are given an extra whole point in GPA.
