C'view students earn AP scholar designation

    Five students at Crestview High School have earned the designation of AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level AP Exams.

    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 college placement, or both for successful performance on the AP exams.  About 18 percent of the nearly 1.7 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to earn an AP Scholar Award.

    Students took AP Exams in May 2009 after completing challenging college-level courses at their high schools. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP Exams.

    Maegan Miller and Hannah Saylor qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.

    Jamin Rager qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. 

    Rachael Hall and David Roan qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Examinations, with grades of 3 or higher.

    Over 90 percent of four-year colleges in the United States provide credit and/or placement for qualifying exam grades.
