Test Prep

The Peak School is an AP testing site. While The Peak School does not offer AP classes we do believe in the strength of our curriculum and will have students that opt into taking the AP exam at the end of their Peak course. Students are responsible for independently preparing for the exam and are encouraged to reach out to their teachers for support. 

In the past five years our students have taken the following AP exams:

Chinese Language and Culture

English Language and Composition

French Language and Culture

Physics 1

Psychology

Spanish Language and Culture

United States History

Calculus AB

Pre-Calculus

Statistics

World History

Biology

Macroeconomics

Computer Science A

Human Geography

In the past five years, The Peak School’s average score on all of the AP exams has been higher than a 3. 

“AP Exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Many U.S. colleges grant credit and/or advanced placement (that means they let you skip the equivalent course once you get to college) for scores of 3 and above” (College Board).

Fun fact: We had a student (class of 2017) take 23 AP tests over their time at Peak. They ended up receiving 17 5’s, which is the highest score one can receive, five 4’s, and one 3. All passing grades. While this is not the norm, it does show what a Peak student can achieve within our curriculum.
