Students have the opportunity to earn college credit for their work by taking Advanced Placement courses. At the end of an AP Course, an exam is administered in May. This exam is prepared and scored by the College Board. Every exam receives a grade based on a 5-point scale: 5 (extremely well qualified) to 1 (no recommendation). Scores of 4 or 5 or higher are considered scores that may earn a student credit, although this varies among colleges and universities. The college the student chooses to attend makes the decision whether or not to award credit based on the exam score.
Any student participating in an AP course should recognize that the teacher’s expectations concerning homework and class work exceed those for the regular course offerings because of the potential to earn college credit. Students will be selected for participation in Advanced Placement courses based on their interest, demonstrated academic ability and teacher recommendation. The following AP courses are available based upon enrollment requests:
- AP Chemistry
- AP Language and Composition
- AP Literature and Composition
- AP Physics
- AP United States History
