I am currently an education major at Syracuse University and an alumnus of Lexington High School (LHS). For starters, let me explain the AP situation at Lexington High School. This explanation is based off of what I recall when I attended school there. From what I remember, starting sophomore year LHS would start offering two AP classes. This number then steadily increases each year that the student progress. However, how one gets into an AP class is important. In order to get into an AP class, a student must be recommend by a teacher and this recommendation is usually dependent on the grade the student is receiving in a per-requisite course.

This system is implemented so that students who may not be ready for AP classes won’t fill them up.
