The World Language chair teaches the AP classes in this particular language and is dismissive of attempts to skip the fourth year in this language only regardless of the 3rd year teachers' opinions or the students' actual abilities. Since the community college professor for the 4th semester class has a stellar reputation and also teaches at the state university, they will go that route instead. The upside is that a high grade in that class can result in articulation of 4 semesters' worth of credits, exact same as a high score on the AP exam.
