High School Course Levels

● Advanced Placement (AP)
Honors Level Classes - What Does It Take?

•Vocabulary is geared toward SAT prep.
•A or high B test average, before retests
What Does It Take
•Student enjoys reading and multi-tasking.
•Student completes homework regularly and successfully.
•Student has good study skills and regularly performs well on assessments in middle school classes.
•An accelerated, advanced course requiring significantly more work.
ADVANTAGES OF APCLASSES

(2) students scoring a three or higher on the AP examination may be given college or university credit and/or placement, thus enabling them to graduate early from colleges or universities.
