GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAMS

Honors Courses

For students who require a more extensive educational program, honors courses have been established in
English, mathematics, science, social studies, fine arts, and world languages. The students recommended for
these programs have been selected based on a number of factors including performance on standardized
tests, academic performance and teacher recommendation. If you believe that you qualify for any of these
honors programs, you should speak with the appropriate School Counselor and Department Supervisor.

Advanced Placement Courses

AP courses are weighted where an A is equivalent to a 5.0, rather than a 4.0, a B is equivalent to a 4.0, rather
than a 3.0 etc. AP exams are administered in May of each school year. Students not currently enrolled in an
AP course are eligible to sit for an AP exam. Success in an AP course does not guarantee success on the AP
exam. The chart below outlines how Advanced Placement courses are weighted. See the chart on page 13
for details.

Students and parents are encouraged to visit http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/apcreditpolicy/index.jsp to
better familiarize themselves with the AP credit policy specific to each college or university.
