Advanced Placement

Why take AP? Thank you for your interest in the Rosepine High School Advanced Placement program supported by the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI). This year our students will take over 100 AP tests in an effort to gain college credit in 5 different subjects.

So, how does it work? Students enroll in AP classes understanding they are taught at the collegiate level. During the school year students are required to attend 3 Saturday Study Sessions (SSS) hosted in Vernon and Beauregard Parishes. These SSS are taught by experts in the subject fields. At the end of the year, students will take the AP test where they can score 1 through 5. A score of 2 indicates the student is college ready. Scores of 3 through 5 will earn students college credit at most colleges and universities.

Studies show students that participate in the AP program, whether they make a qualifying score on the AP test or not, are much better prepared to succeed in college than their peers. Through NMSI, students making a qualifying score of 3, 4, or 5 will also receive a $100 check.
