Why is taking an extra AP class important? AP classes are weighted differently Regular Class: 4 points Honors Class: 5 points AP Class: 6 points The more AP classes a student takes, the higher your Weighted GPA Weighted GPA is used to calculate Class Rank Higher the Class Rank = more scholarship opportunities for post secondary education If your student is, or is planning on being, in the top 1% of their class, taking an extra AP class will help!
