<p>A couple of thoughts -</p>
<p>This summer is the ideal time to prep for the PSAT/SAT. She could then take the Oct SAT and PSAT and potentially be done. My kids had very little time during the school year to try to prep.</p>
<p>I had one D who was a very good student but a non-STEM major take AP Chem and Honors Physics jr year. It is not impossible.</p>
<p>My youngest dropped chorus, which she enjoyed, after 2 years to have a study hall jr year. She is a 2 sport athlete and felt she needed the time for school work.</p>
<p>If your D is dancing a lot outside of school, does she need to be taking a class during the school day? If it is something she truly loves, and wants to pursue in college, then she should keep it. The decision should be hers. We are not an arts family and I have always leaned toward emphasizing academics over arts. Everyone is different, and you need to do what is right for her.</p>
