About AP

The Advanced Placement Program offers qualified students the opportunity to take rigorous, College Board approved, college level courses in high school that help satisfy the District graduation criteria and the opportunity to earn college credit.  Each university sets its own policy regarding college credit for AP courses based on AP exam scores.

Teachers of AP Courses create a course syllabus that is authorized by the College Board which includes exam preparation and the use of college level text materials.

The office provides assistance to teachers towards receiving College Board authorization for their course.

SRC policy states that every Advanced Placement student must take the AP exam for that course. The Office of Secondary School Reform covers the cost of these exams.
