AP CALCULUS BC* | M A 1209 | G R A D E S 10 - 12 | F U L L Y E A R Prerequisites: Minimum overall grade of B- or higher in each semester of AP Calculus AB This course is a continuation of AP Calculus AB and focuses on parametric and polar curves, logistic differential equations, series convergence tests, Taylor and Maclaurin series, and series approximations and error bounds. Students solve real-world problems represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally and use definitions and theorems to build arguments and justify conclusions. This course prepares students to take the AP exam in May for the opportunity to earn college credits. STATISTICS* | M A 1111 | G R A D E S 11 - 12 | F U L L Y E A R Prerequisites: C or higher in Algebra II This course introduces the principles of statistical reasoning. By the end of this course, students are able to ask thoughtful questions about data and statistics; use graphical displays and summary statistics; select random samples and use available data; properly analyze data; make predictions and calculate probabilities; use critical thinking to draw appropriate conclusions; evaluate conclusions made by others; and use the logic of inference and how to account for variability when making decisions. AP STATISTICS* | M A 1205 | G R A D E S 11 - 12 | F U L L Y E A R Prerequisites: B- or higher in Pre-Calculus This AP course is comparable to a college-level statistics course that focuses on the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Throughout this course, students cultivate their understanding of statistics using technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they explore concepts like variation and distribution; sampling and experiments; probability; and data-based predictions, decisions, and conclusions. This course prepares students to take the AP exam in May for the opportunity to earn college credits.

SCIENCE SCIENCE

Washington State guidelines require 3 credits of science as part of graduation requirements; 2 credits must be laboratory based and one credit algebra-based. Four years of high school science is recommended by most four-year colleges. Please refer to descriptions and prerequisites for course requirements.
