AP TEST SIGNUP - DEADLINE IS MONDAY


Last year we had 90% sign up for the test.

At this point, with just a few days left we had 74% signed up. This year we aren't really close to that. I'm not sure why this is, but hopefully people have just waited to the end. Please do not forget to sign up. I know you can do it!

We had great success last year.

And we have been getting better and better every year. Let's make 2018 the best yet!

2017 Test Signup - just before the deadline with less than a week remaining.
Last year's AP Banner celebrating the very best scores in AP World History - a RECORD NUMBER of Top Scores!
We have seen great growth in the AP Program. Very proud of the students and the work they have done.
