Who can take AP classes?
AP classes are for students in grades 9 - 12. They are NOT only for students with the best grades. ANYONE who is confident, motivated and ready can enroll in AP classes.What are the AP exams?

Each high school offers different AP classes, and AP course availability is often flexible. If you would like to see an additional class offered at a specific school, please get in touch with the counselor or AP coordinator.
What are the benefits of AP classes?
-
AP lets students pursue college-level studies in high school. They get the opportunity to earn college credit and/or placement into more challenging classes.
-
Taking AP courses shows the college admission officers that a student wants to take the most challenging courses available. Having AP classes on a transcript can help tremendously with both college admissions and in receiving scholarships.
-
AP classes help students develop analytical abilties as well as communication, research and time-management skills.
-
Students who score a 3 or higher are more likely to graduate college on time and can save time and money in college.
-
Even students who score below a 3 are still more likely to graduate college on time.
How many college credits can I earn?
The tests are graded on a scale of 1 to 5, with a 3 or higher considered mastery. Students who receive test scores of 3 or higher can earn college credit and/or placement into more advanced classes depending on a college's policies. Depending on the number of tests passed, a student can save thousands of dollars in college tuition fees.
