The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening participation. 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.

 

Bayside had 71% of seniors who took at least one AP exam during high school, 65% of seniors scoring a three or higher on at least one AP exam, and 36% of seniors who took five or more AP exams (with at least one taken during the freshman or sophomore year)!

 

At Bayside, we are proud to offer 16 AP courses over 24 sections of classes with 11 teachers.

 

“AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, to earn college credit and placement, and build professional career skills they can use no matter what path they choose after high school,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “Congratulations to this year’s AP School Honor Roll recipients for proving it’s possible to expand participation in these rigorous courses and still drive strong performance.”

 

College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
