To be fair, this is a function of the high school you went to. AP Computer Science has existed in some format since the 80s.

"The College Board added computer science to the Advanced Placement Program in the 1983-84 academic year; as the discipline has evolved, the AP Computer Science course and exams have also changed."

I took AP computer science in 1987. It taught me almost everything I needed to know as a foundation to keep coding up to today.
