Students can take Data Science Pathway to Honors and another math class, such as Precalculus.  Prerequisite is completion of 2 Algebra.

Students will study local data that includes direct application to their lives. Topics will include data analysis, sampling, data visualization, correlation/causation, bias and uncertainty, probability, modeling with data, making and evaluating data-based arguments, and the power of data in society. ETHS will be partnering with Northwestern University and Jo Boaler at Stanford University for this course.

Students can take AP Statistics AP and another math class.   Prerequisite is completion of 2 Algebra. 

Students will develop written and verbal communication skills around what data means in context so that the data can inform decisions about real-world problems. This is an introductory, non-calculus based college-level statistics class. Emphasis is placed on the collection, analysis, and interpretation of real-world categorical and quantitative data. Course topics include univariate and bivariate data analysis and interpretation, linear and non-linear regression, understanding and comparing distributions (particularly the normal distribution), probability, discrete and continuous random variables, sampling and experiment design, and statistical inference (including confidence intervals and significance tests). 

Students will enhance their analytical and problem-solving skills. This is a college-level course in computer science. Topics include object-oriented program design, algorithms, and algorithm analysis, data representations, and control structures. Special attention is paid to the analysis of a large “case study” program and object-oriented programming. May be taken for either CTE or Mathematics credit. AP Computer Science courses are equivalent to a high school mathematics semester course and this equivalence will be denoted on the student’s transcript. 

Students will creatively apply computer technology to solve real world problems. Students will explore major areas of computer science including: programming & algorithms (using Python); understanding the technologies of the web; working with data & big data sets; and using computer models/simulations to make predictions. This will be accomplished through hands-on & collaborative activities. AP Computer Science courses are equivalent to a high school mathematics course and this equivalence will be denoted on the student’s transcript.
