What's the most commonly failed class in high school?

Hey guys, I'm gnarly curious. I always hear some classes in high school are just super tough for students - stuff that makes you stay up until the wee hours trying to understand. Does anyone know what the most commonly failed class in high school is? Just a junior tryna brace myself, lol.

Hello, your instinct for preparation is great! There isn’t a definitive answer since it varies from school to school and also depends on the students' aptitude and interest. However, if we were to identify some commonly challenging courses, from what I have come across, Algebra I appears to be a hurdle for a good number of students. Algebra introduces abstract thinking and a new type of problem-solving prowess is required, which some students might find daunting initially.

Another subject that many students often struggle with is foreign language classes, especially when they reach the higher levels. The complexity of learning a new language along with its grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary can be quite challenging.

And lastly, let’s not forget the Advanced Placement (AP) classes. These are college-level classes and students may not be accustomed to the intensity of the coursework. Courses like AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry are notoriously difficult due to their content depth and breadth.

Keep in mind that it's completely normal to find some classes more challenging than others. The important thing is to seek help when you need it, whether that is from your teachers, peers, tutoring resources, or self-study aids. It also helps to remember that struggle leads to growth. Although these courses may seem tough, they can also be very rewarding!
