More Indiana Schools Make the National AP District Honor Roll List
Thirteen Indiana school corporations are part of an elite group of 367 school districts nationwide that earned a spot on the College Board’s second annual Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Roll. While the number of school districts receiving recognition across the United States decreased, Indiana saw an increase in the number of school corporations making the cut. After receiving national recognition for increasing student access to AP courses earlier this year, Indiana’s schools are continuing to see improvement in both AP achievement and participation.
“Indiana’s educators have worked tirelessly to promote a culture of academic excellence throughout the state,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett said. “Indiana has emerged as a national leader in increasing access to AP college-level courses for underserved students. I commend our great teachers and school leaders for their work preparing students for post-secondary work and successful careers.”
School corporations are honored for simultaneously providing increased access to AP courses and maintaining or improving the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on an AP exam. Of the 13 school corporations, Carmel Clay and New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated Schools are repeat honorees.
