About Our Honors, Advanced Placement, and Dual Enrollment

The Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrollment (DE) programs offer high school students the opportunity to pursue college-level coursework and earn college credit while still in high school. AP courses provide challenging, fast-paced content that aligns with college-level standards and prepares students for the College Board’s AP exams. Successful scores on these exams may grant students college credit, advanced placement, or both, depending on the college or university.

Dual Enrollment courses, offered in partnership with accredited colleges, allow students to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. Taught by qualified instructors and held either on campus or through online platforms, DE courses offer students firsthand exposure to college-level expectations. Participation in either AP or DE courses not only enhances a student's college application profile but also helps develop critical thinking, time management, and academic skills essential for success in higher education.

Advanced Placement

Franklin County Public Schools offers AP courses in many curricular areas. All students who are “willing and academically prepared to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP courses.” Taking an AP course and taking the exam may help a student stand out in college applications. AP courses on a student’s transcript show that they’ve challenged themselves with the most rigorous courses available to them. Most four-year colleges and universities in the United States grant students credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP exam scores. In order for students to register for AP courses, students must return an intent form that is signed by both the student and parent/guardian.

Dual Enrollment

FCPS offers dual enrollment (DE) courses if appropriately credentialed teachers are available and if there are sufficient student enrollment numbers. Students must meet the requirements of the college for admission in the courses. Students will also need to return an intent form that is signed by both the student and parent/guardian.DE courses will follow the grading policy of the college from which the college credit will be received.

Honors

FCPS offers a wide variety of honors courses in several curricular areas. Honors courses operate at a higher rigor than traditional core classes. Honors courses are designed to challenge students and to help create a transition to future AP and Dual Enrollment courses. Students should be prepared to spend additional time on work inside and outside of the classroom. In order to register for honors courses, students must return an intent form that is signed by both the student and parent/guardian.
