There is no single "best" pathway for every student. We encourage students and families to consult with their Counselor and Ms. Maroth, our College and Career Specialist to discuss individual goals and how DE and/or AP classes can help them achieve their academic and post-seccondary goals.
College-level dual enrollment courses are weighted the same as Advanced Placement and Advanced International Certification of Education (AICE) courses when grade point averages are calculated, but the decision between AP and Dual Enrollment is a personal decision based on each student's academic goals and post secondary goals.
