"The question is not whether we can afford to invest in every child;
it is whether we can afford not to."

Marian Wright Edelman,
The Measure of Our Success (1992)

 Note to AP Students:
You are required to take AP EXAMS for all AP classes!   
National Advanced Placement Exam
National advanced placement exams are given in early May.  Each language arts test lasts three hours.  Students answer 56 multiple choice questions and write three essays.  Those who receive a three or higher (out of five) may receive college credit.  Please check with the college or university you plan to attend regarding its policy about advanced placement scores.
 
It is important to remember that while passing the test is important, the real benefit is gained from learning skills that are helpful in all of you classes both in high school and in college.
