LHS Pathways Tool - Adv. Placement (AP)

Lancaster High School is proud to offer a wide variety of Advanced Placement courses. The Advanced Placement Program® (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school.

The program consists of college-level courses developed by the AP Program that high schools can choose to offer, and corresponding exams that are administered each Spring. The exams are scored on a scale of 1-5. Any student earning a 3 or higher can earn college credit.

Benefits

Taking AP courses and exams can help students:

Stand out on college applications. AP courses on a student’s transcript shows that they’ve challenged themselves with the most rigorous courses available to them. And success on an AP Exam shows that they’re ready for college-level coursework.
Earn college credit and/or skip introductory courses in college. Most four-year colleges and universities in the United States—as well as many institutions in more than 100 other countries—grant students credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP Exam scores.
