This accomplishment highlights both the dedication of our students and the commitment of our faculty in preparing them for rigorous college-level coursework. For comparison, in 2021, only 62.5% of AP students earned scores of 3 or higher. Since then, our AP success rate has risen steadily each year, reaching this historic high in 2025.
We are expanding opportunities even further. Starting in 2025–26, incoming freshmen will take AP Human Geography or the new Pre-AP World course, building the foundation for future AP success.
Congratulations to our Crusaders and faculty for these remarkable achievements—we celebrate your hard work, perseverance, and commitment to excellence!
