Advanced Placement Course Offerings

Reagan HS has a policy of open enrollment for Pre AP/AP classes. We count on parents and students to be judicious in selecting advanced classes. Students must turn in a Pre AP/AP Entrance Agreement Form to take advanced classes. Your student may take all the advanced classes for which he/she has the prerequisite and for which you feel he/she is qualified. There are certain caveats outlined on the form and some listed below that should be heeded.

Parents, along with their students, should consider the following questions and implications as they review their student’s schedule and performance.

Please make reasonable, informed choices

1. Is your child self-motivated, an independent worker, and organized?
2. Does your child have good study skills? Is there a place away from the television and an internet connected computer with instant messaging where he does homework every night?
3. Does your child maintain a daily planner and keep up with long-term assignments?
4. As a parent, do you have time and are you willing to help your child with his organizational needs on a daily basis?
5. Is your child involved with one or more extra-curricular activities? How much time outside the school day is required for each activity per day / per week?
6. Does your child have a job? If so, how many hours per week are spent at work?
7. How much sleep per night does your child require to feel rested and be productive the following day?
8. For each course in which your child plans to enroll, how much study time on average will be required? Is your child a fast reader with good retention? Does your child make notes as he reads? Does your child retain information from class well?
9. How well does your child handle stressful situations? Is your child realistic about his performance expectations? As a parent, are you realistic about expectations you have of your child?
