Just make sure your kids are taking the most challenging classes that they're capable of taking. This will change from year to year as the student and parent find out what type of student he is. Sometimes kids on the aggressive AP track to get into a top school need to have their class work loads re-balanced, because it's stress overload. My 2018 is almost too motivated. He was scheduled to take 4 AP's senior year, we told him to take only 3, and have an elective that would balance out the work load. We encouraged wood shop or an art class. (It will be helpful for my kid to have a clue about a hammer vs just advance backhand work at SS)
My son has been challenged and he's learned to challenge himself in the classroom. My son is in a good position to change directions if he chooses. He can now possibly get into a top academic with baseball as his hook, or if baseball were to disappear, he's done well enough to get into a top state school where he'll continue to thrive.
