Advanced Placement Courses at THS
An Edge in College
Advanced Placement classes offer students a chance to do advanced subject work while in high school to earn college credit. After completing the class, students take a final AP Exam in May. Taking AP courses and exams in high school could give you an advantage in college by letting you:
Earn College Credit and Placement
AP Exams are scored from 1-5; generally, a score of 3 or higher qualifies the student for college credit. AP Credit is accepted differently at various colleges and universities. Specific questions should be directed to the Admissions Office of the college or university you are interested in attending. More information about AP Scores can be found here.
Save Money and Time
There is a testing fee for each test taken, but the fees are much less than the cost of taking the class in college. Earning credit or placement can open up time on your schedule or even let you graduate early.
Stand Out to Colleges
“AP” on your high school transcript shows colleges you're motivated to succeed, and taking the exam demonstrates your commitment to tackle and complete college-level work.
Keep Your Options Open
Earning college credit with AP can give you the flexibility to change majors, pursue a second degree, study abroad, or seek internships.
