Frequently Asked Questions
Classes are assigned based on the course selection form submitted prior to the start of school. Schedules will not be changed if a student has been placed in a class that was requested on this form.
Schedule changes will be made, however, if the student’s schedule contains a course that they have already passed, or if a certain class is required for graduation.
Changing a level (such as going from an honors-level course to a regular-level course) must be addressed via a parent/teacher conference prior to any changes.
The AP Program is administered by the College Board. Advanced Placement Exams are developed by the Educational Testing Service.
In the spring of each school year, a cumulative exam is administered for each AP course. AP Exams are graded on a scale of one (minimum) to five (maximum). The cost for each exam (approximately $90) is paid for by the student. University credit is generally granted for exam scores of three and above, with five being the highest score.
AP courses receive a weighted factor of .050 per semester. Based upon students’ AP Exam scores, they may earn as many as 18 semester hours of college/university credit. This represents a significant financial savings to the parents of these students.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) gives students the chance to gain a deeper understanding of academic concepts while learning technical skills.
CTE programs are designed to meet a need in the local community or job market and are aligned with related programs at Nevada’s public community and technical colleges. This allows students to easily continue their studies in college to earn a degree, diploma, or certification. More information about the CTE programs available to Green Valley High School students are available by CLICKING HERE.
CTE classes help students connect what they’re learning to the real world. It enables students to gain key skills that will help them get a job after graduation. It’s also a great way to explore career options and meet the people who work in them.
CCSD high schools have agreements with state and local community or technical colleges, including the College of Southern Nevada (CSN). This allows students to earn college credit at that college or at another college in the state system that offers a similar program.
Students in Nevada must complete a Career and Technical Education program of study with a 3.0 GPA in their content courses, pass an assessment in that area, and pass a test on the NV Employability Skills for Career Readiness Standards, in order to be eligible for certification and college credit.
