I got good news.
My CS enrollment has increased by 50% — partly because I banned 9th graders from the course last year, and we are finally getting students who haven't already tried CS. Both the Visual Basic course and the Java course (PreAP) are up.
My AP course has tripled (from 1 to 3). This is weird, because I have two students who are not enrolled in AP taking the test this year (maybe). Next year I will have another student who has taken AP this year, try the test next year — we have a plan for that.
I also have around 70 webmastering students.
And I'm doing the happy dance because I will not be teaching math next year.
By the way, don't take this as any great enrollment indicator — we had a problem, the wrong population was taking the class and took a year to fix it by not allowing 9th graders in the class. The indicator will be NEXT year.
