More than 500 district students recognized by College Board

The College Board has recognized 511 Spring Branch ISD high school graduates and students that together earned 555 separate Advanced Placement (AP) Scholar Awards.

The students were honored for high scores on numerous Advanced Placement Exams administered during the 2011-2012 school year.

Students in the Classes of 2012, 2013 and 2014 (May graduates, current seniors and juniors) who completed rigorous college-level courses were eligible for these national-level tests. In many cases, higher scores like these can earn students college credits as well as advanced placements.

The AP Program offers AP Scholar Awards to recognize high school students who have demonstrated college-level achievement through AP courses and exams.

Although there is no monetary award, in addition to receiving an award certificate, this achievement is acknowledged on any AP score report that is sent to colleges the following fall.

National AP Scholars Award

Forty-four Spring Branch students were named National AP Scholars. This is the highest award given. To earn the award, students must receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of the exams. Five is the highest possible grade.
