Does taking AP classes reduce the years required for high school to graduate for certain subjects?

Can students take World History over the summer? ONLY FOR STUDENTS IN AN ELECTIVE PATHWAY (APPLIED MEDICAL NOT INCLUDED AS THEIR PATHWAY CLASSES TAKE PLACE IN 9TH, 11TH, AND 12TH GRADE)

Is Human Body II offered for next year? My son took it this year and wants to continue next year.

2026-01-20 16:22:22 UTC

THE APPLIED MEDICAL PATHWAY CLASSES TAKE PLACE IN 9TH, 11TH, AND 12TH. THERE IS NO COURSE FOR 10TH GRADE.

What is the difference between UC A-G requirements and GE?

A–G Requirements

These are the courses required by the University of California (UC) and Cal State (CSU) systems for college eligibility.

They include:

A – History/Social Science (2 years)
B – English (4 years)
C – Math (3 years minimum, 4 recommended)
D – Lab Science (2 years)
E – Language other than English (2 years)
F – Visual/Performing Arts (1 year)
G – College-prep elective (1 year)

👉 Purpose: Makes a student eligible to apply to UC/CSU
👉 These are stricter and more specific than high school graduation rules.

College GE (General Education – in college)

These are the basic breadth courses every college student must take to earn a degree, no matter their major.

They usually include:

English composition / writing
Math / quantitative reasoning
Natural sciences
Social & behavioral sciences
Humanities
Arts
Sometimes diversity, ethics, or critical thinking

👉 Purpose: Required to earn a college degree
👉 Taken after a student is admitted to college
👉 Different systems have different GE patterns:

CSU GE Breadth
IGETC (for transferring from community college to UC/CSU)
University-specific GE

For in person summer school, if my boy had C in the first semester in Math algebra two honor class does this summer class help him correct his grade?

SUMMER SCHOOL REMEDIATION IS ONLY FOR D AND F GRADES

Taking summer ROP class can substitute one of pathway classes? Like ROP sports medicine can substitute the one in junior year?

IF ROP SPORTS MED IS OFFERED IN THE SUMMER, YES IT CAN TAKE PLACE OF THE ONE REQUIRED IN 11TH GRADE TO COMPELTE THE PATHWAY.

Will the summer have online precalculus?

Aeries

2026-01-20 19:53:07 UTC

Should a student and/or parent be able to level down or level up classes in Aeries - Academic Plan? We are unable to update my student’s Chemistry course from H to CP and Math from CP to H. We’ve only been able to add the course we want, but now he has 2 courses for these subjects.

YES, IF YOU HOVER OVER THE CLASS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DELTE IT. IF YOU CANNOT, HAVE YOUR STUDENT COME SEE ME.

Early College & AP

2026-01-20 19:56:30 UTC

If my early college student wants to take an AP next year, is AP World History available to him since he took World History in Early College this year? Is there another social studies AP he should consider taking?

NO THEY WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR AP WORLD AS THEY ALREADY RECEIVED COLLEGE CREDIT FOR THE CLASS THROUGH EARLY COLLEGE. I'VE ATTACHED THE EC 4 YEAR PLAN FOR YOUR REVIEW.

Athletes & PE

2026-01-20 21:32:50 UTC

Last year, my athlete took online PE over the summer. Do they need to do that again this coming summer or is there a possibility that there will be changes to the requirements? IF YOUR STUDENT IS CURRENTLY ROSTERED IN A SPORT THEN THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE YEAR 2 OF PE ONLINE IN THE SUMMER (2 YEARS IS REQUIRED)

Summer Classes

2026-01-21 02:59:30 UTC

Can students take 2 online summer classes at the same time? For example, can a student take PE and Geometry?

THEY CAN ONLY TAKE 1 CLASS ONLINE IN THE SUMMER, SO THEY CAN TAKE THE ONLINE PE THE FOLLOWING SUMMER OR DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

2026-01-21 22:57:15 UTC

Who is qualified to take World History in summer? (What is pathway elective?)

If student only has 1 elective class in 9th grade and 1 elective class in 10th grade. Are they able to take 5 electives in grade 11th and 12th?

ANY STUDENT WANTING TO PURSUE THE SAME PATHWAY FOR 3-4 YEARS CAN TAKE THE WH IN THE SUMMER TO MAKE ROOM IN THEIR SCHEDULE FOR THE ELECTIVE.

2026-01-23 01:09:41 UTC

Are the 10th grade schedules final and no more changes after they meet with the counselor in Feb?

I WISH! HAHAHAH. THEY STILL HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND NEXT YEAR TO MAKE CHANGES!
