College Board Recognizes St. Michael-Albertville’s AP Participation

St. Michael-Albertville Schools is one of 477 school districts in the United States and Canada to be recognized on the College Board’s 4th Annual AP District Honor Roll.

The list recognizes districts that increase access to Advanced Placement coursework while also maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams.

The list is based on three years of AP data, from 2011 to 2013, for the following criteria.

• “Increased participation/access to AP by at least 4 percent in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts, and at least 11 percent in small districts;
• “Increased or maintained the percentage of exams taken by African American, Hispanic/Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Native students, and;
• “Improved performance levels when comparing the percentage of students in 2013 scoring a 3 or higher to those in 2011, unless the district has already attained a performance level at which more than 70 percent of its AP students are scoring a 3 or higher.”

Seven Minnesota districts made the list.
