The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. International School earned the AP Honor Roll at the Platinum Level along with the AP Access Award.
AP Honor Roll
The three criteria for PLATINUM schools are:
- College Culture: 80% or more of the graduating cohort took at least 1 AP Exam during high school. (International was at 100%.)
- College Credit: 50% or more of the graduating cohort scored a 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam during high school. (International was at 100%.)
- College Optimization: 15% or more of the graduating cohort took 5 or more AP Exams during high school. At least 1 of those exams was taken in 9th or 10th grade, so that students are spreading their AP experience across grades rather than feeling disproportionate pressure in any single year. (International was at 89%.)
AP Access Award
An additional recognition is given to schools when the percentage of underrepresented and/or low income students accessing the school’s AP Program is the same as, or greater than the percentage in the school’s graduating class.
