State of Texas created an unlevel ranking system for the classes of 2017,18 and 19 students

Again, YOUR school district determines weight. My school district never counted science APs as 1.5 credits. I don’t know of any that did, ever. My district has changed the “bonus” granted for AP, and it’s completely different than the next district. You only compete for class rank within your school. Petition locally to make sure everyone in your class is treated equally.
