<p>Just got the prelim schedule for my daughter.
Urban public school-she has been taking one AP class each year- although some of her friends take several more than that.
She plans to apply to schools like Occidental and UC Santa Cruz ( out of state)
While she has had a college prep schedule- her first two years of high school also included remedial or support classes to get her up to speed in math.
( A learning disability combined with poor middle school instruction had put her behind)
She is at grade level now- and is taking pre-calc,physics, AP Language Arts &( one semester) of American Gov. She also wanted to take a full schedule- which in her district is 6 periods a day ( although I know private schools and other districts may offer more).
Her schedule has 5 classes- the above and one tech/art class.</p>
<p>I am- to say the least- fuming.
We have been passing all the levies the district puts out- but they still can't give seniors a full schedule.</p>
<p>Last year- senior parents asked the district to change that and our principal actually wrote a letter explaining, that students submitted with their college applications- but I had no idea this condition was still existing, especially since the district supposedly is now out of their budget mess.</p>
<p>Anyone know how colleges will consider her schedule if she can't get any more classes- but if other students from her school * are* able to?</p>
