“We are extremely proud of our high schools for being recognized for these achievements,” said Dr. Mark Scott, Superintendent of Schools for the Houston County School District. “I am thankful that for the last several years, our Board of Education members have made it possible for our students to take AP tests at no cost, removing financial barriers and ensuring all students have an opportunity to earn AP credit.  We are confident the hard work and dedication of our teachers and students will pay off tremendously as our students transition to college.”

AP exams are administered by the College Board, which also administers the SAT. AP courses are one of several ways Georgia students can access college-level learning at the high school level; students who receive a 3, 4, or 5 on an AP exam may receive college credit.
