INDIANAPOLIS – Nineteen Indiana School Districts are among those earning recognition on the College Board AP District Honor Roll.
This is the eighth year the board has honored districts throughout the U.S. and Canada.
In addition to the 19 schools that achieved AP recognition this year, the board provided a list of Indiana schools that have been recognized on the AP Honor Roll multiple times from 2010 to 2017. Locally, that includes Warsaw Community Schools, Wawasee Community School Corporation and Whitko Community Schools.
The District Honor Roll is based on reviewing three consecutive years of Advanced Placement data, from 2015 to 2017, and meeting specific requirements, including:
• Increase in access to Advanced Placement by at least 4 percent per year in large districts, at least 6 percent per year in medium districts, and at least 11 percent per year in small districts.
• The minimum threshold of 10 percent of AP exams scoring 3 or better is required before a district can be recognized for expanding participation and performance.
• Increasing or maintaining the percentage of American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students taking exams.
• Increased or maintained the percentage of American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic Latino, and Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students scoring 3+ on at least one AP exam.
• Improved performance levels when comparing the percentage of students in 2017 scoring a 3 or higher to those in 2015, unless the district has already attained a performance level at which more than 70 percent of its AP students are scoring a 3 or higher.
