Thanks. I'm working on getting more info. Dd will be doubling up in science and taking pre-AP Bio along with another science class b/c she wants to accelerate in science. She has another pre-AP class planned (lit) and then the std fare. Math isn't leveled except that the kids who are subject accelerated in math would be in Algebra II and the kids who are needing extra support there would be in Algebra I. Dd, who is in the middle (accelerated in grade classes but not subject acceleration) will be in Geometry.
She's opting not to do the pre-AP history course b/c she really doesn't love history & b/c she has a pretty heavy load of other stuff planned. The guidance counselor told the group at the registration info night something like what you said about expecting to be overwhelmed. She said that kids who are taking all three pre-APs (history, lit, and bio) should expect 5 hrs of homework a night. Since dd will only be in two of those, who knows, but that sounds truly unreasonable to me.
