AP Offerings

Advanced Placement (AP) Classes

Students at Dallas Center-Grimes may enroll in Advanced Placement classes at the high school. Each AP course’s curriculum is equivalent to a first year college course. These accelerated courses require students to meet class prerequisites, teacher approval and parental approval.  Students who pass the course will receive a weighted grade on their transcript.  The student is encouraged to take the course’s AP test in May (at their expense); students who earn a score of 3, 4, or 5 on the AP exam may earn college credit (dependent upon issuing college).

AP classes may also be taken online or at Central Academy in Des Moines if not offered at Dallas Center-Grimes.
