• Students who take an AP course are exposed to a college level curriculum.

• Students exposed to this curriculum have a higher rate of success in college than those who do not.

• Students who take an AP course and pass the corresponding exam with a 3 or better earn college level credit. *some colleges are requiring 4’s and 5’s, as previously stated. AP Credit Policy

• A student has the potential to start college already ahead of other freshman students.
