Advanced Placement (AP®) Exams
At East High we offer several AP® courses. Upon completing an AP® course, students may take the AP® Exam for that course (usually sometime in the first two weeks of May). Depending on the score received, the student may earn college credit. Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch also qualify for reduced AP® exam prices.
College and Career Counselor Ms. Mitchell oversees AP testing at East High.

End of Course Exams
End of Course Exams
Students take required End of end-of-course exams in select courses throughout their high school career.
Essentially, the final exam in certain courses will include a standardized component that is common across the state. Results from this test will be used by the state to determine student proficiency in the various subject areas.
Like any final exam, students will receive a grade and it will affect their final grade in the course. Passing each individual exam, however, is not a state requirement for graduation. Class credit will still be based on the overall grade earned in the course.
End of Course exams for full-year courses (1 credit) will be taken at the end of the second semester only.

Relevant—WorkKeys® assessments are developed to solve actual workplace problems. Unlike other assessments, they don’t simply give an indication of reading and writing competency. Instead, they measure a range of hard and soft skills relevant to any occupation, at any level, and across industries.
