In Texas we have dual credit programs where students can attend a local community college to take some of their courses (government, economics, etc). Would that look better on a transcript than taking these same classes as AP in their high schools?
Also, how does a school's report card effect a students GPA when comparing students from different cities, regions, etc? How can a parent know which high school to send their child to in the district they live in?
This question goes along with the same as the one before but from a different angle. We have parents and students say that they rather go to a mediocre high school than one with a higher rating because they know that in the lower ranked they will achieve a higher GPA and class rank than one if they attended a higher ranked school.
