Advanced Placement
The AP program is a standardized measure of a student’s knowledge base in specific content areas. It is also intended to provide high school students with an opportunity to experience a college level curriculum. Research strongly supports the hypothesis that a college-like experience in high school leads to greater success in college. AP courses are weighted into students’ Grade Point Average (GPA). College Board, which administers the AP program, requires participating schools around the country to provide certification opportunities for teacher and reviews the course syllabus for each course and specifies the cost, dates and times of the exams. Person County Schools requires that all students enrolled in an AP course also take the AP test for that course. Students will follow the AP policies established by the Person County Board of Education and guidelines of Person High School.
