AP-Advanced Placement at Edison High School

Coordinator: Theresa Madore   tmadore@saisd.net  ext. 136

If an Edison student earns a qualifying grade on an AP Exam (score of 3, 4, or 5), they can receive credit for the equivalent course at thousands of colleges and universities.  At Edison, we have had students earn up to a whole year’s worth of credits.  That amounts to thousands of dollars of tuition and books saved.  Many scholarship awards consider AP classes and grades.  It also allows a student to experience what a college course will entail.
