What is an Honors Course?
An “Honors Course” covers more material and/or treats material more deeply than the average class in the same subject at the same grade level. In an “Honors Course,” evaluation of students’ work is more thorough and rigorous than in a standard course. A particular high school class may be designated an “Honors Course,” or a standard course may offer an “Honors Option.”
