Honors, Advanced Placement, and Dual Enrollment

Honors and Advanced Placement

• Academically advanced students have the opportunity to participate in the FHS honors program. Because of the extra challenge involved, these courses earn weighted grade points (A=5.0, B=4.0, C=3.0).

• Advanced Placement is a program of college-level courses and exams for advanced students. Classes are offered based on student enrollment. Upon successful completion of an AP course, students may earn college credit based on the student's score on a national exam and college policy.

Dual Enrollment

State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.0241 authorizes community colleges and district school boards to conduct dual enrollment classes. These classes, taught on college campuses, afford qualified high school students the opportunity to obtain both high school and college credit. Students must be seniors with an unweighted cumulative GPA of 3.0 and one of the following test scores:

• SAT -- Verbal 440, Math 440
• ACT -- Reading 18, English 17, Math 19
• CPT -- Reading Comp 83, Sent SK. 83, Elem. Alg 72
