My HS one of the first to have block scheduling. I would say the only negative about it was the AP/IB exams were held in early May. The high school year ended early June. So, there was a mad scramble to cram for the AP classes you took in the fall and a scramble to cover topics in 4 months instead of 5 (80% of a normal semester) for the spring semester. If I could do it again I probably would have focused on getting the required classes out the way in the fall and focus on the AP in the spring to prepare for the exam in May.
