Mike C asked: I know that honors classes carry a higher weighted credits, but I really do not understand the difference between college prep and the academic classes that high schools have? I see schools advertising college prep. What is the difference?

college prep is the level of class…its is the basic class that is needed for college. Academic classes can be either your core classes (i.e. english, math) or they can be academic level. Academic level classes are the regular level classes that most people are working at. At my school college prep is the lowest level and competative college prep is the “academic” level while at some schools college prep is the “academic” level
