Advanced Placement (AP)
Advanced standing in college via awarding of credit/placement is possible by taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses and performing successfully on the AP examinations distributed and scored by Educational Testing Service. Advanced Placement course credit will be given a greater weight for grade point average calculation purposes than will be Honors course credit. Students who take an AP course must take the AP exam. The Board of Education pays the fee for these assessments. Students who earn a score below 3 on the AP exam will earn honors course credit only. Traditionally, BHS students have done well on the Advanced Placement Examinations and have received advanced college placement based upon their scores. Students who are absent the day of the test are required to reimburse the Board for the cost of the test.
