Advanced Placement (AP)
Earn College Credit through College Board
Fife High School students have the option of earning credit through College Board in eight Advanced Placement (AP) classes. AP courses challenge high school students with college-level work and allow them the opportunity to earn college credit. Students have the opportunity to take a test at the end of the school year to prove their course knowledge and ability to perform at a college-level. To earn college credit in the course, students need to pass the test with a minimum score of 3 on a 5-point scale.
