Seriously though what's your issue with Stat? It's like 10% math, 90% having common sense. And I agree with 3Fort. If you can't handle the pressure of AP classes, don't take 'em. Your high school's rep won't matter jack diddly the second you graduate.
although the AP curriculum remains the same, different teachers at different schools administer it differently. it's entirely up to the teacher whether s/he wants to assign massive amounts of work or not.
