Course Levels

 Advanced Placement (AP) courses follow a

national curriculum which presents college- level work to high school students. The pace of these courses requires above-average skills related to work ethic and thinking and reasoning skills. Reading and written language skills should be above-average in order for students to be successful. AP courses are demanding and require independent study and learning on the part of the student.

 Honors Level (H) courses require advanced

facility with reading and written and spoken

  • language. Strong organizational skills and the

ability for a student to work independently are

  • required. Students are challenged to think

abstractly and to demonstrate a facility with problem-solving skills in Honors level classes. Strong self-advocacy skills are of benefit at this level.

Course Levels

  • skills. Average to above-average reading and

writing skills are needed for success on this level.

 General/Resource center courses are

available for students with special needs. These classes are based on the recommendation

  • f the Child Study Team for students with an

Individualized Education Plan (IEP). These courses are designed to accommodate various learning needs and learning differences.
