AP Classes

Students who were enrolled in AP courses this year are currently taking AP Course Exams. The AP (Advanced Placement) Program is designed to give students the opportunity to take a college-level course while in high school. AP courses are rigorous and students desiring to enroll in one should be academically strong in the subject area and be prepared for hours of study and hard work. This may sound intimidating, but the pay off is great.
Depending on the college's AP score requirement, a student can potentially earn college credit. The highest score a student can earn on an AP exam is a 5. Most college's require a minimum of 3 or higher, some require a 4. Students should check with the Admissions department of the college they are planning to attend to learn about AP score requirements.
