Last year's AP Macro & AP Micro students outperformed their peers!

AP MICROECONOMICS provides students with a thorough understanding of the economic policies that apply to individual decision-makers, including consumers and producers, within the economic system. The course also covers the operation of product and factor markets, distributions of income, market failure, and the role of government in promoting greater efficiency and equity in an economy. All coursework aligns with College Board's AP Exam, this year held on May 5,2023. All relevant assignments and materials can be found in our Google Classroom .
