This extensive array of courses ensures that every student has the opportunity to engage deeply with rigorous material, fostering critical thinking and analytical skills essential for their future success.
Commitment to Expanding Access
The AP School Honor Roll celebrates schools that achieve outstanding results while actively expanding access to their AP programs. Each year, schools are evaluated based on their dedication to creating a college-going culture and maximizing college readiness for every student.
As Trevor Packer, head of the AP program, notes, “AP gives students the opportunity to engage with college-level work, earn college credit and placement, and potentially boost their grade point averages. The schools that have earned this distinction are proof that it is possible to expand access to these college-level courses and still drive strong performance – they represent the best of AP.”
