Alexandria, VA —The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose Advanced Placement (AP) programs are delivering strong academic outcomes for students while expanding access to advanced coursework. Schools earn this annual recognition based on criteria that demonstrate a commitment to college readiness, participation in AP coursework, and student success on AP exams.
“I am incredibly proud of our military-connected students and the dedicated efforts of our educators to prepare them for success in college and careers,” said DoWEA Director Dr. Beth Schiavino-Narvaez. “Having 39 of our high schools recognized on the AP Honor Roll reflects the high achievement and commitment to excellence across DoWEA.”
The College Board recognizes schools at four levels—Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze—based on research-based indicators tied to college outcomes. Schools must meet all qualifying criteria using data from the most recent graduating class.
