Is a 5 on the AP test = A?

At my son’s school, this kind of thing is left up to the teacher. A couple of teachers use the AP test grade as a final exam grade, or as sort of a bonus section to the final exam. For those students whose grades go up when the AP test results are released, a new updated report card is issued. Most of the teachers in his school do not factor the AP score in to the final grade. I believe that it is a good thing to have the teacher make the decision on how to use these scores, rather than having a school-wide policy that applies to all subjects.
