Academic Placement
The following academic placements are as defined in the 2008–2009 Program of Studies.
- AP: Advanced Placement courses are college level courses that challenge students at the college level. Students are recommended for AP by their teachers and will have the opportunity to earn college credit based on AP exam scores.
- PLTW: Project Lead the Way classes offer opportunities for students interested in careers in Engineering, Product Design, Architecture, Manufacturing, and other technology careers. These courses offer affordable college credit to RIT and a number of other engineering/technology schools.
- Honors: Honors level courses are offered to students who have excelled in academic classes. Recommendation is based on teacher evaluation, test scores, and overall academic attitude. Honors level courses will prepare students for the rigors of Advanced Placement courses.
- IB: International Baccalaureate classes begin in 11th grade. Students can take the full diploma or certificate courses.
- Regents: Regents level courses are college preparatory courses. Some Regents courses require a state final assessment.

“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
