Advanced Placement examination and possibly qualifying for college credit.
AP students are expected to work at an accelerated pace and to engage in
outside reading and independent study.
AP courses are open to students with the prerequisite
coursework along with TAKS scores and teacher recommendations. Students who
choose to enroll should be prepared for the increased academic rigor of
these courses. AP courses concentrate on providing students with rigorous
college level academic instruction while preparing students for the AP exam
associated with the course.

descriptions generated by College Board. Students must understand and be
prepared for the increased academic rigor of these courses. Pre-AP students
are expected to engage in outside reading and independent study. Pre-AP
