Advanced Placement Program (AP)

Lake Region High School participates in the College Entrance Examination Board's Advanced Placement Program. AP courses are taught on the university level at the school. Students who complete high school advanced placement courses and achieve scores of 3 or better on the AP examinations in those courses may receive college credit where the student enrolls following high school. Students should check directly with the colleges or use the catalogs or software available in the Lake Region High School College/Career Room to determine how each college awards credit for AP test scores.

Because of the small enrollment in AP courses, students are afforded the opportunity of intensive class participation and student/teacher interaction. The student assumes a great responsibility when enrolling for an AP course. Enrollment and acceptance into an AP course is a commitment that can not be changed. Students are expected to complete the AP course and to take the AP examination at the end of the year.

AP courses are taught on the college level. Students must apply to take these courses. Students who take the courses must take the AP tests(s) for the course(s). they take. There is no cost to the student for AP tests. The course descriptions are found in this Curriculum Guide.
