Scheduling Requests for 2015-16

When making your schedule request for 2015-16 and considering your class choices for the next few years, here is some research from the U.S. Department of Education to consider:

The best predictor of college graduation, based on the records of students, is NOT good high school grades NOR good test scores, but the best predictor is . . .

. . . the number of challenging courses taken in high school.

A student who works hard and struggles in an AP or IB course is better prepared for college than a student who takes an easier course and/or test.
