CARRBORO - Carrboro High School will add four Advanced Placement courses after parents complained the new school was being shortchanged.

AP biology, chemistry, French and Latin will be offered next year, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Superintendent Neil Pedersen said.

Classes will be smaller than their counterparts at Chapel Hill and East Chapel Hill high schools. AP Latin, for example, has only six Carrboro students signed up, Pedersen said.

"These are a stretch in terms of numbers, but we do recognize the school has to go through sort of a transition period," Pedersen said of the school, which gets its first senior class next school year.

Carrboro High will offer 15 AP classes next year, while Chapel Hill and East will offer 18 and 19, respectively.
