• Advanced Placement

    Studies have shown that students who take AP courses and exams are much more likely than their peers to complete a bachelor's degree in four years or less. After taking an AP course, students should take the corresponding AP Exam. Depending on their score and the college they ultimately attend, students could earn college credit and save them (and you!) time and money. Please contact your child’s teachers if you have questions about specific AP courses and/or your child’s potential for success in them.
