The Advanced Placement (AP) program annually releases an AP School Honor Roll, recognizing schools that, “Have done outstanding work to welcome more students into AP courses and support them on the path to college success,” according to the AP program. Due to an administrative error, B-CC was initially absent from the Honor Roll but this has since been rectified.
Following the correction, B-CC received recognition in the gold category, the second-highest tier. B-CC achieved the gold status by meeting specific criteria: 72% of seniors taking at least one AP Exam during high school, 57% earning a three or higher on an exam, and 24% sitting for at least five AP Exams.
Ms. Sutton, one of the assistant principals at B-CC, said, “I feel like it’s deserved. We have done a lot of intentional work on trying to increase access in opportunities to higher level classes for our students.”
Ms. Yener, AP Coordinator at B-CC, added, “Congratulations to the students and teachers who have worked so hard to grow the AP program here at B-CC. What an accomplishment!”
B-CC has continued its commitment to promoting its AP Program among all students. “It looks like we are headed in the same direction this year, maybe even platinum recognition is on the horizon,” said Yener.
