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 in reading and written language, a strong work ethic and above average thinking and reasoning skills. AP courses are demanding and require independent study and learning.  Honors Level (H) courses require above average skills in reading and written language. Successful students at this level have strong organizational skills and work well independently. Students are challenged to think abstractly, be problem-solvers and have strong self-advocacy skills.

Course Levels  College Prep (CP) courses are the standard college prep courses requiring students to work independently and have strong organizational 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 of the Child Study Team for students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). These courses are designed to accommodate various learning needs and learning differences.
