Advanced Placement Courses at Watertown High School

Students at WHS currently have the opportunity to complete Nine A.P. or Advanced Placement courses.  Each course has its own prerequesites as defined in the Program of Studies.  Advanced Placement courses provide the opportunity for high school students to complete college level coursework and potentially receive college credit.  The curriculum presented is audited and approved by the College Board.  The awarding of college credit depends on student peformance on the College Board exam in May. 

Standards for credit vary from one college to another.  A.P. test scores range from 1 to 5.  A score of 3 or better is passing.
