If my middle school student is not in Strand A foreign language, does this mean he/she will not be able to take the honors and AP level language courses at the high school?
No. Placement decisions for 9th grade Spanish/French classes are made in the second semester of 8th grade, and are based on class performance. Middle school language students who are not in advanced foreign language will typically be placed in level 3A or 3B of their language in 9th grade (there is no Honors designation available for level 3 foreign language classes). If their performance was strong in 9th grade, these students would then typically move on to Honors Spanish/French 4A in 10th grade. Students on this track could take AP Spanish/French Language in 12th grade if they had strong performance in their Honors level Spanish/French classes.
