Advanced Placement Policies

At BHS, AP coursework is available in twenty-one (21) different areas. Students must meet all course prerequisites in order to select these classes. All students enrolled in AP courses are strongly encouraged to take the associated AP examinations. Each student and family must plan for the cost of the AP exam fees if they choose to take the exam (currently $100.00, but subject to change). Students who receive free or reduced school lunch are eligible for Advanced Placement fee subsidies.

  • Sophomores may only enroll in one (1) AP course.

  • Juniors and seniors enrolled in two or more AP courses may enroll in 29.5 credits (or one fewer semester course) if enrolled in two or more AP courses. 

  • Juniors and Seniors who enroll in three (3) or more AP courses have the option to enroll in AP Directed Seminar. (pg. 80)
