<p>I think your current school is at higher academic level already</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinion. At first my current school wasn’t academic at all(Hence why I looked into the other school), but I pushed the administration to let me take college classes. Now it’s a hard decision. The other school is for “gifted” kids(Though i’m having some doubts about that) by the way.</p>

<p>Talk to people who go there, if you can. AP courses with a good teacher and smart peers > AP course taught by uninterested teacher who can’t cover the whole curriculum because your fellow classmates can’t keep up.</p>

<p>Both those courseloads sound pretty intense to me.</p>

<p>It’s not just about the curriculum itself; it’s about the other students. Go where your classmates will challenge you.</p>

<p>I dont think classmates will challenge me at either school :(</p>
