A lot of schools don't have the budget for gym class.

Also, the AP CS program, unless it has gotten markedly better since the mid 2000s, is just a basic Java course. I got a 5 on it, and I don't remember anything more complicated than how to implement a singly-linked list.

It's still like that. There used to be APCSB for algorithms and data structures but no one took it so they killed it.
