September 25, 2024 — A total of 60 Mound Westonka High School students have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP exams last school year. That number compares to 41 AP Scholar Award winners the previous year.
"It's exciting to see how many students were recognized this year for their excellence in AP coursework,” said school counselor Ann Baumann. “In 2023, about 14 percent of students earned the honor of AP Scholar and that number jumped to 18 percent in 2024. This recognition shows the hard work of both our AP students and our AP instructors."
The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP) provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP Exams.
