| High School :: Advanced Placement Offerings |
The Advanced Placement program provides motivated high school
students with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school
setting.
In order to receive college credit, students must earn a passing grade
on the nationally administered AP tests in May. AP test scores range from a
score of "1" (no recommendation) to "5" (highly qualified),
with the score of "3" or "4" earning college credit at the
majority of colleges and universities. All students enrolled in an AP course at
LCCS were required to sit for the AP exam in May.
Vernier
Data-Collection Technology
The high school lab sciences use the Vernier
Data-Collection Technology for many of their experiments. This technology
allows students to gather precise data and then analyze it on the individual
computers at their lab station. LCCS has a wide complement of sensors to use in
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and IPC.
Interactive Literature
The English classes at LCCS are designed to engage the students in evaluating the poems, drama, and literature they study through a variety of means and presentations.
Computer Projects
In high school computer classes, students work in
Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
They also create Clay Animations and begin programming using Lego
Robotics.
