<p>I am just curious.</p>

<p>How many AP classes does your child’s school offer?
What is the average ACT or SAT score of the high school?</p>

2

<p>14 AP courses. </p>

<p>Avg SAT math is 584
Avg SAT verbal is 571</p>

<p>Wow, 14 AP classes.</p>

<p>My child’s high school offers 0 AP class and my kid will take 2 AP exams at two different high schools.</p>

4

<p>4 AP courses: (US History, World History, English Lit and Calculus AB</p>

<p>Avg SAT Math is 537
Avg SAT CR is 526
Avg Writing is 515</p>

5

<p>10 - 15, I think. 24’sh ACT. 5 - 10 national merit scholars annualy.
This is the rich kid school, one of the top 3 publics in our <em>very</em> modest state.</p>

6

<p>26 AP courses.</p>

<p>Avg math = 556
Avg CR = 558</p>

<p>School usually produces 10-15 NMF’s each year, produced 24 NMF’s two years ago.</p>

7

<p>24 AP classes
SAT math 567
SAT verbal 567</p>

<p>Middle of the bunch high school in a very competitive county.</p>

8

<p>All students in our state have to take the ACT as a graduation requirement.
Avg ACT composite: 23</p>

<p>SAT Mean CR: 614
SAT Mean Math: 585
SAT Mean Writing: 582</p>

<p>Looks like 20 AP classes offered with an additional number of IB classes (but there is some overlap.)</p>

9

<p>24 AP courses
26 AP courses</p>

<p>Are we talking about high schools or colleges?</p>

10

<p>I was wrong about mine above - we actually have 19. We have the courses in 14 subjects - but within the subjects there are multiple tests; like AP English vs. AP Literature and WHAP vs. APUSH.</p>

11

<p>5 AP classes, average ACT 24 (all students must take in district), no reporting on the small number of kids who take SAT. USNWR silver school. 7 national merit scholars (not normally that high, unusual class – average graduating class is around 200) the vast majority stay in the midwest for college/uni.</p>

12

<p>Our high school offers 26 AP courses.
SAT mean is CR 504 , Math 522, Writing 507</p>

<p>81% of the class takes the SATs, and about 65% go to four year colleges. Averages for those that attend four year colleges are about 30 points higher in each section.</p>

<p>Not very many kids take the ACT, their mean scores are around 24 for each section except math which is closer to 23.</p>

13

<p>NoIdeaDad…AP is a “brand”…ask your guidance office what the most rigorous classes at your school are. They should also be listed on your school profile. We only have 5 AP brand classes but a handful of classes (mostly science and language related) that are really tough but not AP brand.</p>

14

<p>14 AP classes
21 IB classes (though 4 are language classes that also prep students for the AP exam)</p>

<p>SAT (79% of students take the SAT)
Mean CR (SAT) - 596
Mean Writing (SAT) - 593
Mean Math (SAT) - 613</p>

<p>ACT (required for juniors, 97% take) - mean 25.0</p>

<p>momofthreeboys… Thanks for your advice.
My child is taking AP exams because other kids are taking them.
My child’s HS does not have any AP course but we don’t worry about the rigor of his classes.</p>

<p>I am really shocked by the number of AP classes some schools offer.</p>

18

<p>^^I’m always “shocked” also by the money spent by some school districts. We have a “frugal” district which as a taxpayer I appreciate!</p>

19

<p>Sorry, misread the question. Not sure on either question.</p>

20

<p>5 APs</p>

<p>No clue the avg SAT/ACT is that in the school report?</p>
