Advanced Academics
Northside ISD and Stevens High School recognize the value of student participation in advanced academic coursework and encourages students to graduate from high school with at least one advanced academic credit such as Advanced Placement (AP) Dual Credit, or OnRamps dual enrollment course. The key benefit of early exposure to postsecondary education is the authentic entry point to college expectations it provides for students and their families. In addition, earning transferable college credit while in high school accelerates degree completion by reducing the costs and impact of student loans and increasing lifetime earning potential.
