Of this year’s award recipients across FCS, 135 awards were given to sophomores or juniors at the time of testing. These students have at least one more year in which to complete college-level work and possibly earn a higher-level AP Scholar Award. The availability of AP classes for students is a priority in FCS.
“We take immense pride in our Advanced Placement (AP) program, both the students and the educators at Floyd County Schools,” said McCall Govignon, FCS Director of Advanced Programs and Assessment. “Our AP program has expanded, providing a wider selection of courses for our students. The broader range of AP courses available to our students opens up numerous opportunities for them to achieve honors at both state and national levels, and to thrive beyond their high school years. This year we administered a total of 1,005 AP exams to 804 students. 60% of the AP exams taken earned college credit for our students.”
Through 34 different college-level courses and exams, AP provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit or advanced placement and stand out in the college admission process. Each exam is developed by a committee of college and university faculty and AP teachers, ensuring that AP Exams are aligned with the same high standards expected by college faculty at some of the nation’s leading liberal arts and research institutions. More than 3,600 colleges and universities annually receive AP scores. Most four-year colleges in the United States provide credit and/or advanced placement for qualifying exam scores. Research consistently shows that AP students who score a 3 or higher on AP Exams (based on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest) typically experience greater academic success in college and have higher college graduation rates than students who do not participate in AP.
