Dickerson is an Advanced Placement Certified School.  We currently offer Advanced Content Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies at grades 6, 7, and 8.  A screening for advanced content classes is completed automatically at the end of 5^th grade and at the beginning of 8^th grade.  Students new to Dickerson from outside of Georgia are screened as they enter the school.  Placement in the advanced content classes is based on nationally normed standardized tests such as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, the CRCT and the CoGat, as well as on cumulative average in core subjects.  Students in the advanced content classes must maintain an 80 or above average in each advanced content class to remain in the program.
