While out school district only offers about 8 total AP courses, the local community college is directly across the street from the high school and the school district simply pays for students to take desired classes there when they've exhausted the curriculum of a given subject matter. I've found I very much like that arrangement as it requires students to better prepare themselves, providing their own transportation, finding parking, additional scheduling conflicts, time management, becoming accustomed to unfamiliar professors and students.....sound more like college?
Sounds like a good solution to me.
But, at my school AP classes give one a +1 grade for the GPA and a community college class doesn't. If you are playing the admission to university game, an A in the AP class helps the GPA and the community college class doesn't.
