Cascade High School AP Classes

Advanced Placement (AP) is a program created by the College Board in the United States that offers college-level courses to high school students. AP courses cover a variety of subjects, including math, science, social studies, and languages. They are designed to prepare students for college-level work.

AP courses are typically more rigorous than standard high school courses and require students to complete college-level readings, assignments, and exams.

Why Take the AP Exams?

  • If students pass an AP exam, they can earn college credit for the school they plan to attend.

  • Research shows that high school students who take AP classes do better in college than comparable students who do not take AP classes.

  • AP students learn essential time management and study skills needed for college and career success.

  • Taking AP classes signal to colleges that students are serious about their education and willing to challenge themselves with rigorous coursework.

  • Research shows that students who receive a score of 3 or higher on AP exams typically experience greater academic success in college.

  • Students who take AP courses and exams are more likely to complete a college degree on time, avoiding additional years of tuition costs.
