There wasn't any flexibility with scheduling and I'd like to be able to drop/switch my classes but that was not possible. AP courses are way too selective, especially for some teachers who don't have experience or don't know how to teach the material for the actual AP class. Counselors aren't helpful.

It's nice! Im a junior, and I'm not super happy with the amount of ap's offered but the arts here are actually decent. It's a good community. Small building but many floors + an elevator.
