Pre-AP (Pre-Advanced Placement) Courses
Pre-AP courses provide motivated students the opportunity to learn course content with increased academic depth and complexity. Pre-AP courses parallel the curriculum offered in an on level class, but may cover additional topics or provide greater depth in certain topics or skills. However, all of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills will be covered. Frisco ISD is strongly committed to providing equity and access within the Advanced Academics programming. All pre-AP courses are open enrollment and we encourage any motivated student to take a pre-AP course based on their interests and goals. Pre-AP courses better prepare students for the increased rigor of AP courses.

AP (Advanced Placement) Courses
The AP® Program allows students to participate in rigorous, college level courses while still in high school. AP courses follow the curriculum framework outlined by the College Board and also cover all of the corresponding Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. At the end of the course, students are encouraged to take the corresponding AP exam that is given in May of each school year. Upon successful completion of an AP® exam, students can earn college credit at most universities and colleges. Students may receive college credit at any public university or college in Texas based on AP exam scores. Students may confirm college credit offered at https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/creditandplacement/search-credit-policies. Additionally, many selective universities and colleges review AP coursework and exam scores as part of the college admissions process. Frisco ISD is strongly committed to providing equity and access within the Advanced Academics programming. All AP courses are open enrollment and we encourage any motivated student to take an AP course based on their interests and goals.
Counselors and current teachers can help students make informed decisions on the appropriate level course work. For more information see: http://www.friscoisd.org/departments/advanced-academics/advanced-placement

Home-Schooled Students
Home-Schooled Students
The Texas legislature amended TEC 29.916 that requires school districts to allow home school students the opportunity to participate in PSAT/NQMST and Advanced Placement (AP) testing that each district provides enrolled students. The statute also requires the district to notify the public via its website or local newspaper: of the dates of PSAT/NQMST and AP tests; that home school students are eligible to take the test; and the procedures for registering for such tests. This public notice must be posted or published at the same time and with the same frequency as the notice of the tests given to students attending the school district.
Home schooled students desiring to take an Advanced Placement exam should contact the lead counselor of the high school where they are zoned to attend and request to take the exam(s). All requests for AP exams must be submitted to the lead counselor in writing by March 10th of each year. The lead counselor or testing coordinator will provide specific information on how to register for these exams. Home-school students may only take AP exams that are offered at their zoned high school. Proof of residency will be required prior to registering for any exams. Home-school students sitting for exams on campus will be required to follow the FISD Student Code of Conduct. It is the responsibility of the home-school student to pay for all AP exam fees, should there be any fees. All testing dates are posted on the Frisco ISD website. (FISD Board Policy EK Legal)
