Kai, I think a kid could take an AP class at the HS, and maybe the school just doesn't designate it as "AP" on the transcript. The school can remove the AP designation on the transcript - our district (likely illegally) will remove the AP designation if a kid takes an AP class but doesn't take the AP exam. That's fine if the district pays for the test, but our district does not (and that meant paying $900 for AP exams for middle kid - sorry about the mini-rant).
Not sure of the reasoning, but College Board may assume that if the classes are given at the middle school rather than the HS, the class might not meet the requirements of an AP class. There are requirements to be met to officially designate a class as "AP".
