Advanced Placement

Advanced Placement courses are courses that follow the curriculum designed by the College Board and prepare students to take the AP exam in the spring.  The AP Exam is designed and scored by the College Board.  Each college or university determines whether or not they will give credit for AP exams.  For example, if an SPFHS student takes AP Art History and scores a 4 or 5 on the exam, the college or university that they attend will determine if the student will be given any college credits for that course.  Students may get generic elective credits (toward the graduation requirements) or they may be given credit for a specific course so that they can begin advanced courses in that field right away (for example, they can get credit for Introduction to Art History and then begin their college coursework with an advanced art history course).  Students must register and pay for the AP exam in the fall in order to take the exam in the spring.  For the school year 2025-26, the cost of AP exams was $100.
