AP Courses for High School Students

A variety of Advanced Placement Courses are offered districtwide at SPS high schools. On the next page, you can find a list of the 2023-24 AP Courses offered at 11 comprehensive high schools. AP Course offerings change annually based on staffing and student enrollment.
