Is this normal for a freshman?

I have just recently come to be a freshman at my high school and have been receiving grievous amounts of work lately. When I ask my other friends, they only seem to be getting half of what I get. We take the same cles and all, yet I always seem to get the worst of everything. I get igned homework in 5/6 of my cles daily. I've been getting 100 question tests every two weeks in history and a spanish quiz every Wednesday. I also receive a Geometry quiz every Friday. As for the homework, I generally receive about 30 minutes of Geometry a night, which I finish during lunch break. Spanish is mainly studying for quizzes and I don't see a problem with it. As for my core cles, Biology is normal although it was supposed to be my hardest cl (I actually look forward to it because it's amongst my easiest cles.) Health/PE is also normal in my opinion. But the two classes that aggravate me the most are World History and English I. Those two classes combined generally give me 3+ hours of homework a night, generally being around 4. I start at 6:30PM and finish at 11PM. I receive two English projects at a time plus regular homework and in History I receive 2 hours of homework a night plus a 100 test or an 87 quiz (the test being more common) every 1-2 weeks. Is that normal for a high school freshman? Looking at the statistics, most high schoolers receive my amount of homework in a week. I do not take any AP classes so I don't see what the deal is. Can you compare my experience with your high school experiences? Is my work normal? I have no idea how anyone can play a sport after school with this amount of work. I generally have 4 quizzes/tests a week and have to study tremendous amounts. Just for this weekend, my English teacher assigned me one 1-2 page allusion on Poseidon, read a 10 page story (The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe), answer 6 questions about the story, then fill out a 2 page questioner on the story. She also assigned us 30 words of which many I hardly heard of to learn the meaning and spelling of for a test next week that pretty much decides your final grade in the class. This being assigned at the same time that I have a health test consisting of another 30 words in the muscular and skeletal variety that I have to learn the location and spelling of by tomorrow. I just don't get it. Is this normal? I'm a public school is one of the lowest performing school districts in the state.
