Advanced Placement Courses
Placement in Advanced Placement classes is based on teacher recommendations, student achievement, and student interest, aptitude and motivation. Prerequisites are determined by individual subject-area departments for entrance into these classes. Parents are encouraged to speak with their child and his/her teachers to understand the expectations and requirements of an Advanced Placement course so that students are willing and able to do the work required. Upon completion of these courses, students are required to take the Advanced Placement examination given in May, in addition to any state examination required for that course.
