Advanced Placement (AP) Program

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are designed to challenge students with college-level curriculum while still in high school. For each AP course a student takes, the student will be given an opportunity to register and participate in AP testing in May. A score of a 3 or above is considered passing and can result in student receiving college credit for the course(s). Minimum scores for college credit are set by each college. Student should research his/her college choice to determine AP requirements. Cost for each AP test is $84.00.
