bullet::::- students have the opportunity to take advanced placement courses sponsored by college board to gain college credit before graduation. classes offered include: biology, chemistry, u.s. government, world history, u.s. history, psychology, english literature, english language, studio art, calculus, and spanish language. however, due to clark county's budget cuts and financial difficulties, ap classes have been largely limited due to the quota of 25 students needed to pilot each ap class. with the average class size being 30 students, it is nearly unfeasible to garner enough students for an ap class. participation in the ap program is largely voluntary and so ap class size turnouts tend to be low.
