AP at NHS
Advanced Placement classes are challenging college-level courses offered in high school. The College Board AP exams are given in May, and students who earn a 3, 4 or 5 earn college credit for the course. The number of Vikings taking AP classes and scoring a "3" or higher on the AP tests has risen exponentially since 2012. Since 2011, North has increased the percentage of our students passing with a 3 or higher by over 30% while the overall State of Colorado pass rate has only increased by .6% in the same period.
