These 10th graders at Quincy Jr Sr High School, along with 10th graders at Chester, Greenville, and Portola Jr Sr High Schools, are taking the inaugural Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science Principles class to be offered at Plumas Unified. AP classes let students pursue college level classes while still in high school, and give the opportunity for students to receive college credit and/or advanced placement in college classes after taking the concluding AP Exam, an assessment designed to measure a student’s mastery of the subject. PUSD offers AP courses in Environmental Science, English, Calculus, US History, and Government to 11th and 12th graders.
