<p>School only gives A,B,C,D,F. No pluses or minusess.
School doesn't rank, but I'm easily in the top 5% out of 450.
The school's somewhat competitive. We had 6 people get into Stanford this year; a dozen or so more got into MIT, Harvard,etc.; at least 30 in Ivy leagues and at least 60 or so in UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>Not the most rigorous curriculum available at competitive public school.</p>
<p>Chemistry,Precalculus, Japanese, Spanish, and French are the only honors offered at school</p>
<p>AP Chemistry, AP Biology, APUSH, AP Music Theory, AP Calculus AB & BC, AP Government, AP Literature, AP Japanese, AP Chinese, AP Spanish, AP French are the only APs offered.</p>
