  11. AP Course Offerings *Additional AP courses not taught by OHS may be available through ACCESS.

  12. Advantages for Taking Advanced and AP Courses • Students will have the potential to earn college credit via their qualifying score by taking AP courses (for qualifying score check with the college of choice). • In addition to increased rigor and ACT scores, students taking PreAP and AP coursework, regardless of whether or not they earn a qualifying score, will ultimately be better prepared for the rigor of college coursework.

  13. APand Advanced Grade Weightsper OHS Handbook Statement “Averages will be computed on a 4.0 scale: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. Advanced Placement courses (AP History, AP English Lit/Lang, AP Science, and AP Math) will be awarded one extra point: A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2. PreAP Classes will be awarded 0.5: A=4.5, B=3.5, C=2.5, and D=1.5. If a student falls below a D in an AP or PreAP class, the extra point for class rank will not be awarded. Grade Point Averages (GPA) equal the number of grade points earned divided by the number of semester classes. AP classes will be awarded 8 points (4 points per semester) and PreAP classes will be awarded 4 points (2 points per semester). Transfer students’ weighted courses will follow the criteria approved for AP and Honors classes by the Oneonta Board of Education in 2011-2012.” OHS Student Handbook
