The AP program is a joke (excluding AP Stats). You can take the classes but be prepared to get books on your own and a tutor is you want to excel on the exams. Administration doesn't work with parents and are clearly more accepting of inappropriate behavior from certain student populations than others. Our son was bullied and threatened relentlessly and nothing was done. Later the same year, he was suspended for bullying when he threw his home-coming dates flip-flop over a fence. Close Quote
