Hundreds of AP potential letters were generated last week and sent to students at BRHS. AP Potential is generated from a students' participation in the PSAT, which was administered at BRHS in October. It simply uses statistical data to predict a student's success on an AP exam based on their PSAT scores.
Make sure you consider it when you're enrolling or selecting your courses for next year!
Please take a look below at the grade requirements for students interested in taking an Honors or AP-level course for next school year. |
