<p>Our school offers up to the AP Level.</p>
<p>We don’t have chinese though, which the the only language I genuinly “wanted” to take.</p>
<p>Ehh went the spanish route:)</p>
<p>Latin helps a lot with the SAT. If it was offered at most schools from Freshman Year-Junior/Senior, then students would easily get a great score on the English sections.</p>
<p>Idk how Latin is divided in other schools that take it through their 4 years, but in my school we only get Latin as a Foreign Language in our Senior Year and we “try” to finish the book but we I doubt we’ll get to the 20th chapter in the book by the time we graduate. We use Wheelock’s Latin. I’m going to take the class in college though and get an easy A since I at least know the first few chapters.</p>
<p>My school (a normal public high school) offers up to Latin 4, although there has been recent concern that the Latin program may be cut next year. I am currently enrolled in Latin II, and if all goes well I am definitely planning on continuing through Latin IV. I believe my Latin teacher talked with the school board about getting permission to make the Latin IV class an AP Latin class, but it never got approved.</p>
<p>In addition to Latin, my school also offers Spanish I-APV, French I-APV, and German I-IV. We also currently have Greek I & II (taught by the same teacher who teaches Latin), but it has been cut for next school year.</p>

<p>Defo. I don’t know anyone who has figured out the subjunctive in English from an English class. English classes usually teach literature and essay writing rather than grammar.</p>
<p>I’m sure that most “Magnet” schools offer Latin…</p>
<p>Latin is AMAZINGLY useful for SATs because with Latin roots you can figure out the roots for oh so many words in the English language. Get sucked in by SAT Prep and then you can fall in love with the beautiful language…</p>
<p>Hello everyone on College Confidential. My school has French, Chinese, and Spanish. At our school, French is supposed to be ridiculously easy and goes up to AP French. Spanish is supposed to be the “best” one since we have a Spanish immersion program here and it goes up to AP Spanish. Chinese is our most recent language at our school and is considered the most practical at our school. Our school recently added a Chinese immersion program.</p>
<p>Mine does. Up to 4th year, but it’s not AP anymore…</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t public schools offer Latin?</p>
<p>^Maybe if there weren’t enough students who would take it? They’d have to have at least 1 class of every level, so 5 classes. I think when my school had 3200 they only had 12 classes of Latin, so a school with fewer than 1300ish students probably just doesn’t have enough demand for Latin to teach it.</p>
<p>Ours does…up to AP. But there’s only one teacher, so there are only three sections of Latin–I, II, AP (AP counts as two years for students since we alternate between the two different exams each year*).</p>
<p>The only other languages offered are Spanish and French. </p>
<ul>
<li>The same exam has been given two years in a row now and will probably be given next year because the other exam is undergoing changes. However, the teacher is still giving students credit for taking the class both years, even though the curriculum is the same. :D</li>
</ul>
<p>^^ I thought P.S. had tons more people in it than private. Mine has 3500 students.</p>
<p>^Most public schools are smaller than that actually. A high school with 1000-1500 students is pretty typical.</p>
<p>^ Avg public school size: [Table</a> 5. - Average public school size (mean number of students per school), by instructional level and by state: Overview of Public Elementary and Secondary Schools and Districts: School Year 1999-2000](<a href=“http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2001/overview/table05.asp]Table”>Table 5. - Average public school size (mean number of students per school), by instructional level and by state: Overview of Public Elementary and Secondary Schools and Districts: School Year 1999-2000)</p>
<p>^ that table may be out of date…it does say 1999-2000 at the top…and I for one, know that my school’s size has increased exponentially from then.</p>
<p>So, to post something relevant ;)… At my pub. school, we offer Chinese, Latin, French, Spanish, and Italian.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention Hebrew, darnit. >.< So, that’s Spanish, Latin, French, and German all up to AP level, and up to Hebrew V.</p>
<p>My public high school offers Spanish, French, and German up to AP level (since you would do the 1st level in middle school) and Latin, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Latin from the I-IV level. Nearly all of these programs are successful, but I think they’re dropping Japanese because so few students have taken it. Latin, however, is quite popular.</p>
<p>My school, unfortunately, does not offer Latin. 
We have Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese all up to AP level (including Italian, even though it isn’t an AP class anymore)
Blerg I really want to learn Latin.</p>
<p>At my public school, we have French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Latin. The first 3 go up to level 5 AP, Russian is level 5 honors, Latin is level 4 honors and Chinese is new so I think the highest offered this year is level 3. Of course, I’m from NJ and we have huge budget cuts so say goodbye to Chinese and Latin! I did take Latin freshman year, but then lunch was made mandatory and I had to pick between AP Music Theory and Latin 2.</p>
<p>Ours also goes up to ap…</p>
<p>Its public… but average ACT is 26and we have 26 aps</p>
<p>My school has Spanish and French (both through AP level) and Latin (for three/four years, depending upon enrollment). And it’s public.</p>
