I will offer a cautionary tale on taking a required high school course for college credit.
I have complained about my daughter’s history teacher before - knows exactly what he can get away with to avoid the scrutiny of the administration, won’t leave until he retires, very harsh guy, universally despised. At the beginning of the year he encouraged the kids to fill out a form where they could take his class for college credit through a local college - it’s a college prep class, not AP. I did not pay much attention because, frankly, I thought it was a bad idea for a high school teacher to be teaching a college class and I didn’t see the gain in it for her. Junior year history is required in my state for graduation.
Thank God she didn’t do it. This school year in history has been a nightmare - she is doing fine, but that’s because one of my (finally useful) degrees is in American history. Half the class gets by through cheating (he uses the same quizzes year to year and they get passed around). It has been so bad that I have alerted the guidance office that my incoming freshman better not get him as a teacher.
So, long story short: The college class will be taught by the high school teacher who may or may not be certified/able to teach that class. I would ask parents and kids what they thought. If it were a first year program, I would not be a guinea pig. And, as mentioned above, the credits might not end up being useful anyway.
