My S20 is looking to take an AP Stats class online. For a variety of reasons, the plan for his math class this year (Calc 3 online) has fallen through and although he has enough math to graduate, he does not want to be without some math class this year to keep up with the rigorous schedule he has maintained all through HS. Plus, it would NOT look good for him to not have a math class his senior year. He is double accelerated and took AP Calc BC (got a 5) last year and has basically phased out of the offered math classes. He is in the middle of the application process and we need to get this figured out before he clicks “submit” so everything he lists for his senior year classes is accurate.
I’ve looked into a couple online options and one was a more regimented schedule and it is too late to register for that one. Another (through Keystone Online High School) is a possiblity once I make sure it will be listed on his transcript, so I have a call into his Guidance Counselor. This is a move-at-your-own-pace set up. I just wondered if anyone has experience with Online AP Stats in particular. Thanks in advance!
Why don’t you find a university or community college that teaches MVC online? Probably a bit hard to find, but they do exist. UC-Berkeley has one but it’s only offered in the summers.
If your kid has already taken AP Calc BC, taking AP Stats is a few steps backwards. You could also try finding a calculus-based Stats class at a place of higher learning, though community colleges rarely offer that (CCs usually only offer Algebra-based Stats, the same as AP Stats).
My D22 will be in the same place in a few years. While our school has AP Stats, I’ve been exploring options for MVC/Linear.
Out local CC only has in -person classes, but an adjacent county currently has them on-line and their non-resident rate isn’t much more than our local resident rate. So maybe look around surrounding areas.
Johns Hopkins CTY has on-line, self-paced or session-based accelerated math all the way through Complex Analysis, so man6 options there, though pricey.
Those can all be taken for grade/HS credit with appropriate HS conversations, for me. She also has been taking Discrete Math and other topics through MITs Open Courseware, for fun. I don’t think there’s a way to get credit for these, as they’re just videos/printouts…
