This course is evaluated through input from students and art department faculty. This includes discussions among teachers, students, parents and administrators. Teachers keep updated to new practices affecting their teaching area and methods through attending conferences, readings, and networking with other art educators. The Advanced Placement portfolio is sent to The College Board where it is evaluated along with other portfolios from across the country. The judges award a rating of one to five, with five being the highest.
Students can receive up to three college credits for their portfolio work.
