Advanced Placement

Advanced Placement (AP) courses follow the guidelines outlined on the College Board website (https://student.collegeboard.org/) so that students are well prepared for the national AP tests in May. Students in AP courses are required to take the AP Exam at the scheduled time in May. Failure to take the exam will result in the AP designation for that course being removed from the student’s transcript and replaced with honors. Especially relevant for seniors, it is important to note that a student’s final, end-of-year transcript is sent to colleges and universities; such transcript changes may affect college admissions decisions. Yarmouth High School presently offers 14 AP classes in English, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, Arts, Visual & Performing Arts, and World Language.
