Advanced Placement Testing

Advanced Placement offers students at Valley View High School the opportunity to take college-level courses and exams. These courses allow students to potentially earn college credit, fulfill prerequisites for the first year in college, and give themselves an edge in the college admissions process. Students have the opportunity to sign up for AP courses during the spring. Below you will find a list of AP courses offered at Valley View along with 2024 test dates:
