ACADEMICALLY GIFTED SERVICES Academically Gifted (AG) students may be identified in
reading/English, mathematics, or in both areas. Students who qualify for the AG program are served through self-selected courses within specified Honors and/or AP English classes and/or in specified advanced level mathematics courses. These courses are designed to provide challenges and appropriate instruction for very capable students through more frequent use of higher level skills and concepts and development of advanced, independent research projects.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM The Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers courses that provide two
distinct advantages to students: (1) a student whose transcript shows AP courses may receive higher consideration for admission from colleges and universities; and (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.

AP®teachers use college-level materials and course descriptions developed by a committee of college faculty and AP teachers.
AP Course Descriptions reflect courses taught in colleges and universities throughout the country in various curriculums and disciplines.
Students who take AP courses and exams are much more likely than their peers to complete a bachelor’s degree in four years or less.
Students will be:better prepared academically.more likely to exercise leadership.twice as likely to go into advanced
study.
Most U.S. and international colleges and universities have an AP policy granting incoming students credit, placement, or both, for qualifying AP Examination grades.
