Alternative Options Weren't Mentioned in High School (now I'm a little mad)

Yes, homeschoolers are allowed to take AP exams, but good luck finding a high school who will let you test "out of district". I must have called 50 local high schools in the last week, and always get the same response.

very frustrating. Ask around in your local homeschool groups for leads. There are times when an AP is the better choice, if that's true here, you should push it. Also, always ask for the AP Coordinator and directly say "I'm a homeschool parent and want to register my teen to take the ___AP exam with your students" I wouldn't mention anything about where you live if they don't ask. I'll also add that you may get more luck targeting private high schools, specifically academic-magnet ones or religious based.

I can't remember if it was here or on FB, but a parent just shared with me that her public school district covered the cost of 2 AP exams as well as all testing materials- so there are really excellent districts out there, you just have to keep trying. And bring cookies. Cookies help.
