Honors/Dual Enrollment/Advanced Placement

 

 

 

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program allows high school students to take college-level courses and potentially earn college credit while still in high school. AP courses are accelerated in both rigor and pace.  Students enrolled in AP courses are required to take the national AP exam, which has a testing fee of approximately $100. Many colleges grant credit or advanced placement for exam scores of 3, 4, or 5, though students should consult prospective colleges to confirm their policies before enrolling. Students are advised to take no more than two AP courses per term and must meet all prerequisites. Once enrolled, AP courses cannot be dropped. A completed AP Student Agreement must be submitted with the registration form. Athens High School offers AP courses in Calculus, PreCalculus, English, Spanish, United States History, Music, Art, and Psychology, with some courses available based on student interest. Please note that optional study sessions may be offered outside the regular school day to support student success.  Advanced Placement courses carry weighted grades that reflect their increased rigor. Please see the grading scale for more information. Interested students should consult their counselor for guidance on course selection. For more information, visit www.collegeboard.com/research.
