Advanced Placement - ArTES Magnet

ArTES encourages all students to enroll in AP courses, as research demonstrates that students who enroll in AP courses are more successful in post-secondary education.
AP courses provide students with college preparatory experiences required by a nationally reviewed curriculum that provides measures for college-level matriculation. ArTES offers various AP courses across multiple academic content areas.
Students enrolled in AP courses are strongly encouraged to take the AP exam related to the course. Student who score 3 or higher on an AP exam may be eligible for course credits, depending on the college or university where students have applied and been accepted.

When making the decision to enroll in one or multiple AP courses, students should consider:

- Will I be able to manage all requirements for the course? Will my other activities (sports, theatre, music, work, etc.) affect my ability to manage my time and complete assignments?
- Is my interest in the AP course work enough to motivate me to study independently and at a deeper level?
- Have I demonstrated potential success in “related AP courses,” such as honors courses?
- Would other “informed” persons support my thinking that I’m ready for the rigor of AP courses?
- Will my work ethic enable me to be successful?

If the courses are at capacity, placement will be determined by an extensive look at the prospective student’s GPA, writing scores, teacher recommendations, art portfolios and successful completion of summer assignments, if applicable.
