Dodgeland offers two distinct pathways for earning college credit while still in high school: Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Credit. AP courses follow a rigorous, nationally standardized curriculum developed by the College Board and are taught by our teachers; students earn college credit by demonstrating mastery on a year-end national exam, offering a "gold standard" of portability to universities nationwide. Conversely, Dual Credit programs represent a direct partnership between our district and local colleges, such as Moraine Park Technical College, allowing students to enroll in actual college courses that satisfy high school and degree requirements simultaneously. Dual Credit students earn their transcript hours through their performance throughout the entire semester. By supporting these programs, the community invests in a high-return educational model that bridges the gap between secondary and higher education, significantly reducing the financial burden of future tuition for local families while ensuring our graduates are college- and career-ready.
