Advanced placement – or AP – courses are offered in many high schools as a way for students to take college-level classes and impress college admissions officers.

Lincoln School in Providence plans to stop offering AP courses in the fall of 2017. Lincoln Head of School Suzanne Fogarty discussed the decision with Rhode Island Public Radio’s Elisabeth Harrison.
