Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment

Here's what folks are saying about this program:
“The AP classes demanded and challenged me. As I look back on my experience in the program from the view of a freshman at Vanderbilt, I am glad I had these classes to prepare me for where I am now.” -Bryan Moore, Vanderbilt University
“Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment classes allow students to begin college level work while in high school, greatly easing the transition to a full-time college student later. For many, AP and Dual Enrollment can be very economical ways to receive college credit.”-David Kindiger, Guidance Counselor, RBHS
“After attending three, almost four years of college, I can definitely see the difference the AP classes have made. My knowledge of history and English is not the only thing that I got out of the courses; I also learned better study habits."
-Brittany Yates, former AP/dual enrollment student
