57 District High School Students Earn AP Scholar Recognition

Disponible en:

More students took the AP online exams in 2020. For the first time, more than 4.2 million students worldwide took AP Exams.

Students in schools all over the globe take Advanced Placement (AP) exams every spring. The College Board’s AP® program provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams.

The College Board released the AP scores in August. A total of 57 Aldine ISD students earned AP Scholar Awards to recognize their exceptional achievement on AP Exams taken in spring 2020.

AP® Scholar Award Level

The AP Scholar Awards are a series of awards given by the College Board to students who have demonstrated exemplary college-level achievement. The high school students have to earn a 3 or above score on at least three AP exams.

• AP Scholar: Granted to students who receive 3 or higher scores on three or more AP Exams.
• AP Scholar With Honor: Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams.
• AP Scholar With Distinction: Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.
• National AP Scholar: Granted to students in the United States who receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.

In late March, the College Board launched teacher-led AP Online Classes and Review Sessions to help students continue learning and practicing for their exams. Since they were introduced, the classes were viewed 33 million times by 5.2 million unique viewers. Celebrity guests and luminaries—including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Janet Yellen, Valerie Jarrett, Nate Silver, Tony Hale, Jeb Bush, Kristin Chenoweth, Cory Booker, Melinda Gates , and more—signed on to take part in the history-making endeavor to provide unique, real-world learning experiences for students.

Students embraced the new format, and many have asked the College Board to continue the AP Online Classes and Review Sessions. The 2020 AP Exam completion rate is higher (93%) than in typical years (91%).
