AP Scholars recognized by College Board

November 18, 2009 — Two-hundred four CFISD students have earned the designation of AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level AP Exam.

The AP program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both, for their successful performance on the AP Exams. Only about 18 percent of the more than 1 million high school students who took the exam in May 2009 performed high enough to merit such recognition. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on the number of year-long courses and exams (or their equivalent semester-long courses and exams).
