Grayling High School has offered AP classes since 1980. The first course offered was English Composition. Since that time, the program has expanded, and students are now able to take AP courses in biology, calculus (AB and BC), statistics, chemistry, English language and literature, psychology, Spanish language and literature, U.S. history and European history. Students at GHS have also taken AP exams in French, German, human geography, physics, U.S. government and world history through independent study.
The number of GHS students taking AP exams has steadily increased over the years, with 79 students taking a total of 134 exams last year. In addition, test scores continue to be above the state and national averages.
