Required Courses for Juniors English 11 American Literature; a comprehensive class with both literature and writing instruction OR AP English Language/Composition American Literature; a comprehensive class with both literature and writing; however, there is a significant focus on writing -- there will be more writing than in either Eng 11 regular or Eng 11 Honors. Students will also read major American works of literature (there has been some misunderstanding about this, and it is important to note that this is still a literature course!). Students will "have" to take the AP Exam and will receive AP Credit. I'm assuming -- we will have to go through the process -- that students will also be able to get some CCC credit through the ACC partnership that we have like the AP Lit and Comp students are able to do (as well as other AP courses here at the high school).

Advanced Placement ( AP ) Advanced Placement courses are college level courses that are graded on a weighted scale (i.e. A = 5.0, B = 4.0, etc. This does not apply to D grades). At the end of each course you will be required to take a national AP exam that determines the number of college credits you will receive for that particular course. It is up to the college whether or not they will accept AP college credit. Leading up to forecasting you will have discussions with your teachers about recommendations for AP level courses. Each course may have specific application requirements and possibly summer work. You will not be allowed to drop an AP course once the class starts.
Advanced College Credit Completing ACC approved courses with an A or B will earn community college credit that can be transferable to many 4 year universities. CCC will notify students taking ACC approved courses for registration. You must pay $10 per credit to receive college credit (i.e. 4 credit course = $40). Students CAN NOT get both ACC and AP credit for one course. Review list of approved ACC courses on our website www.wlhs.wlwv.k12.or.us > Academics > Curriculum > Advanced College Credit See counselor for additional details!!!
Oregon University System D Rule No Oregon public university will accept grades lower than a C- in required academic courses. Student with D s or lower in these courses will be required to make up the credit before applying to an Oregon public university. See your counselor about credit recovery options!!!
