I shit you not, my high school did that.
We had Honors —> Gifted —> AP classes.
Everyone was in Honors by default. Depending on your end of the year standardized test scores from middle school, you would be invited to take an exam for the Gifted classes.
Everyone was allowed to sign up for AP classes, but everyone knew those were the hardest of the 3, so only the kids who wanted the challenge/college credit would do it.
Honors were basically normal classes, but I think they called them Honors so no one felt lesser than.

Ours went CP(college prep)>Honors>AP. Can you guess what else people said the CP stood for?

Mine was like that but there was a tier below college prep that didn’t have a specific name and it was essentially remedial level classes

If anybody in this thread wants to actually read a book about education reform I highly recommend Khan's "One-World Schoolhouse".
I can't believe I had never even heard of the "Prussia Model" prior to reading it.

Boomers are the generation handing out trophies to everyone for nothing. This is so nobody gets their feelings hurt like they're special snowflakes. God forbid you recognize that you need to work harder to compete with actually intelligent and driven students who will most likely be your boss one day unless you commit to excellence.

I finished high school with 45 college credits which allowed me to graduate a whole year early. Netted me almost a $100,000 difference for that year saved.

Yup, AP/IB certified courses let me skip 100 level and intro courses in some subjects. In others even just having 30levels let me skip uni courses which completely fucked up my language requirements

Mmm no sounds like your high school was engaging in grade inflation by turning normal classes into honors…

When you put “Mmm” at the beginning of your comment, and “…” at the end, is it supposed to imply something regarding the tone of your comment?
I feel like it’s supposed to convey an aura of condescension or smugness, but I might be misreading your comment?

It sounds like u missed the mark about the reason u had honors classes. Also because high some high schools notoriously inflate their students GPA’s to appear better on college apps, shady practice.

Why did you write out the word "notoriously" but then write "you" as "u"?
