Chagrin Falls High School recognized for student success in Advanced Placement program while broadening access.
College Board announced that Chagrin Falls High School has been named to the Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning a gold distinction.
The AP® School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.
Chagrin Falls High School offers 28 AP courses. Last year, there were 41 AP Scholars, 20 AP Scholars with Honor, 51 AP Scholars with Distinction, 1 AP International Diploma, 17 AP Capstone Diplomas, and 3 AP Seminar and Research Certificates awarded.
“AP represents an opportunity for students to stand out to colleges, earn college credit and placement, and potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “The schools have shown that they can expand access to these college-level courses and still drive high performance – they represent the best of our AP program.”
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
