<p>Hi, I've done a search but haven't really come up with any threads about my specific situation. </p>
<p>I was pretty sure that I was going to do a free dual enrollment program next year (my junior year) called "Running Start." This program is nice because I would get to enter into almost any college in Washington state as a junior. I was planning on taking Calc 1, English 101, and Intro. Chemistry my first quarter. However, I just had my orientation last week and the kids there mostly seemed like they were doing it because it was free, not because it was academically challenging. </p>
<p>I also have an option to continue at my high school and take AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP US History, Spanish X103 (College class offered at the high school) and Honors Chem. My high school has a lot of problems with drugs and alcohol but I was thinking that maybe if most of my classes were AP's I would not have to deal with the druggies and slackers? An advantage of staying at high school would also be that I would get to stay with my friends.</p>
<p>Basically, I am just curious as to what you guys would pick if you were in my situation. And I was hoping some of you might have some advice?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
