Sprayberry High School is committed to developing a community of learners with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in our diverse, 21st century society.  Through Advanced Placement courses, gifted electives, honors classes, AVID classes, and the Gilder Lehrman Academy, Sprayberry provides multiple avenues for students to reach their fullest potential and prepare for their future.

Sprayberry has been recognized as an Advanced Placement Certified School at the demonstration level since 2007.  Sprayberry offers 19 Advanced Placement Courses including all content areas.  30% of Sprayberry’s student population is enrolled in Advanced Placement courses on a yearly basis.  Over 50% of the students take at least one honors class each year.  Participation in these classes provides students with rich opportunities to develop critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills. 

Advanced Placement courses are developed to mirror college level curriculum.  Students scoring a 3 or higher on the College Board Advance Placement tests may earn college credit for entry level courses. Most major universities require a minimum number of Advanced Placement courses for admission consideration.  

In 2008, Sprayberry recognized 37 Advanced Placement Scholars for scoring 3 or higher on multiple tests.  Students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes scored an average of 207 points higher on the SAT than students not enrolled in AP courses.
