<p>Luckily at my school anyone can enroll in AP courses. Most people do pretty well too. Everyone wins at the rich sururban school. I'm a junior and I'm taking 5 AP classes and I took 3 last year as a sophmore. I was one of the first people to get the AP scholar award as a 10th grader, yet I wasn't even in the top 1/3 of the class. This year I'm barley past the top 25% mark and yet I have actually challenged myself because I value education. I'm on track to becoming the only person in my high school's history to have taken 8 APs without being in the top 1%. It would be ridiculous for households like mine to pay the high property taxes to fund our overfunded school without being able to take advantage of its curriculum. What I also find interesting is that in my high school the kids who take loads of APs are obligated to pay low property taxes while those who pay the most property taxes take hardly any. The same people who contribute the most for education don't take advantage of it.</p>
<p>It's ridicous to limit AP classes to only the top 10%. I would sue!
In our school anyone can enroll in an AP class if they complete the required prequistes (very reasonable). But hardly anyone takes the tests and few kids get 5s. Fairfield County sucks!</p>
<p>OVERFUNDED! You should give your money to us!</p>
<p>I don't think we even have 8 AP classes!</p>
<p>well i used to go to a catholic school & for
1. we had to have above a 3.5
2. have a teacher recommendation
3. take an exam. the exam actually consisted multiple choice questions from previous AP exams, and all though we didnt have to write essays/dbq's we had to get at least 50% of the questions right.</p>
