NEWS RELEASE
Rome High School students received recognition for outstanding Advanced Placement (AP) scores this past week.
RHS boasts a total of 74 scholars. 273 of those scholars were AP students and 27.12% of those AP students are AP Scholars. 47 of the 74 scholars are classified as AP scholars, plus7 AP Scholars with Honors, 17 AP Scholars with Distinction and 3National AP Scholars.
The Advanced Placement (AP) courses offered at Rome High are certified through the College Board, and students who take those courses are given the opportunity to complete a test at the end of the course for the possibility of earning college credit before they leave high school. It is not required that students who participate in an Advanced Placement course take the corresponding AP exam because each student is still receiving high school credit regardless. However, in order to receive college credit, students must take the final AP exam and pass with a certain score (dependent on each university’s requirements).
There are five categories of Advanced Placement Exam scholars: General AP Scholar (scores of three or higher on three or more AP Exams), AP Scholar with Honor (average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams, and scores of three or higher on four or more AP Exams), AP Scholar with Distinction (average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams, and scores of three or higher on five or more exams), National AP Scholar (average score of at least four on all AP Exams taken, and scores of four or more on eight or more of these exams), and AP International Diploma(globally recognized certificate awarded to students who display exceptional achievement across a variety of disciplines).
