Results from last spring’s Advance Placement Exams were among the best Columbus Academy has ever seen with 145 students earning AP Scholar recognition by receiving scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP exams.
AP Exams are designed to measure how well students have mastered college-level material, with scores of 3 or higher on a scale of 1-5 often qualifying for college credit. This year’s 145 AP Scholars included a record-breaking 85 upper-schoolers who garnered AP Scholar with Distinction designation by achieving an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of those exams, and 18 others were AP Scholars with Honor for having an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of those exams.
Overall, the average test score for our AP Scholars was 4.29, and our Class of 2025 had a record-high 79 AP Scholars out of 112 graduates (70.5%)!
