Programming classes are uncommon in American high schools:
> "There currently are just over 42,000 high schools in the United States. But only 2,100 of them were certified to teach the AP computer science course in 2011"

edit: Wish I could find the numbers for public high schools, but I'd wager that they're much lower than 5%, with public middle schools smaller still.
- learc83 11y agoJust because a school doesn't offer a college level computer science course doesn't mean they don't offer programming classes. Most of the schools in my area have offered some kind of technology class in middle school or high school that has basic programming modules, but only a few offer AP CS. I remember programming a robotic arm in middle school almost 20 years ago.
