For the third consecutive year, the Neenah Joint School District has been named to the Advanced Placement District Honor Roll for the performance of its students on AP exams.
The AP District Honor Roll is awarded by the College Board and recognizes efforts to open AP classroom doors to a significantly broader pool of students, while maintaining or improving the percentage of students earning scores of three or higher. A total of 477 school districts in the United States and Canada earned a place on this year’s list. This is the fourth year that the College Board has compiled the AP District Honor Roll.
The District Honor Roll is based on an examination of three years of AP data from 2011-13. Schools are recognized for increasing participation in AP exams by at least four percent in large-sized districts, six percent in medium-sized districts and 11 percent in small-sized districts, and maintaining or improving the percentage of exams scoring three or higher from 2011 to 2013.
In 2013, Neenah administered its senior class a total of 638 AP tests in 22 different subjects or levels. Of the tests taken, 479 (75.1 percent) resulted in a score of three or higher on a five-point scale.
“The high achievement of our students is truly reflective of the commitment our staff has made to maximizing students’ potential and the hard work of those students,” said Neenah superintendent Dr. Mary Pfeiffer. “We are also thankful to have families and community members who are supportive of these efforts.”
