East Central ISD Removes Pre-Reqs For Advanced Placement Classes

/
East Central High School offers more than 40 AP classes. Next school year, the AP classes will be open to all students.
Next school year, Advanced Placement courses at East Central Independent School District will be open to all students. The district has eliminated a requirement that students first take Pre-AP classes.
“It's really about access and opportunity,” said Dawn Drisdale instructional specialist for advanced academics and gifted and talented at East Central. “If you never get that (opportunity), how do you know that you'll do well?”
Pre-AP classes, offered in middle school and high school, will also now be known as honors classes. Drisdale said the goal of the new name is to reduce stigma.
