Advanced Placement Courses

Pine-Richland High School offers Advanced Placement courses for students across many subject areas. All students
enrolled in AP courses are required to take the end of year AP exam during the College Board mandated testing window
each May. There is a fee of approximately $95 for each exam, and each family is responsible for payment of the fee prior
to the testing window. A letter and invoice will be sent home early in the second semester, detailing all exams ordered
for the current school year along with the total testing fee.

AP exams are scored on a 1-5 scale. Many colleges and universities award recognition for scores of a 3, 4 or 5. For some
colleges, the recognition permits students to skip entry-level courses and enroll in more advanced level courses as a
freshman. For others, college credits are awarded. Students may check for details on how AP test scores are managed for
each college/university using: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/creditandplacement.

Please keep in mind that it is the responsibility of the student to send AP scores to each school directly from the College
Board. AP scores are made available to families in July each year through the College Board. A student may request to
be partially reimbursed by Pine-Richland upon receiving a score of 3 or higher. Please note that the reimbursement
process has specific requirements and deadlines. Information regarding the process will be available on the district
website’s high school homepage in July. Current AP courses taught at Pine-Richland are:
