Students taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses will be expected to take the AP test at the end of the year in order to receive weighted credit for their transcript. The below policy can be found in the Decatur Middle & High School Student Handbook on page 43 for reference.

"All students taking an AP course will be required to take the AP exam to earn the weighted credit. Students will not receive weighted credit for the AP class until they have taken the AP exam. Weighted credit is not contingent upon passing the AP exam or attaining a certain score, but only on the fact of taking the exam will earn the weighted credit."
