AP Scholars announced

Posted on Oct 05, 2006

Nine Lauralton Hall students have earned the designation of AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) Exams. The College Board’s Advanced Placement 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 successful performance on the AP Exams. About 18 percent of the more than 1.3 million high school students in 16,000 secondary schools worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to merit the recognition of AP Scholar.

Students around the country took AP Exams in May 2006 after completing challenging college-level courses at their high schools. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on student’s performance on AP exams. 

Five students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams.  Members of the class of 2006 named AP Scholar with Honor by the College Board are Chloe Anderson, Sara Brennan, Jennifer Bui, Margaret Galiani and Alyssa Reyes. 

Tracy Allen, ’07, Kathleen Keenoy, ’07, Kathleen Long, ’06 and Victoria Pennick, ’06 qualified for the designation AP Scholar.

Most of the nation’s colleges and universities award credit, advanced placement, or both based on successful performance on the AP Exams. More than 1,400 institutions award a full year’s credit (sophomore standing) to students presenting a sufficient number of qualifying grades. In 2006, thirty five AP Exams were offered in a wide variety of subject areas, each consisting of multiple-choice and free-response (essay or problem-solving) questions (except for the Studio Art exam which evaluates students’ original artwork). 

Lauralton Hall congratulates these outstanding students on their achievements.
