Jacksonville High reports record AP passers, growth in CTE completion and credentials
Summary
Principal Mims told the board that Jacksonville High recorded 103 students with passing AP scores last year, higher AP participation, and increases in career and technical education completers and certifications.
Jacksonville High School reported year-over-year gains in Advanced Placement results and career and technical education (CTE) outcomes during the Jacksonville North Pulaski School District board meeting Tuesday.
Principal Angela Mims presented school-by-school data and highlighted AP and CTE figures. "We had a record number, 103 Jacksonville High School students receiving at least a passing score on at least one AP," Mims said.
AP and assessment details: Mims reported 377 AP exams administered with 103 scores of 3 or higher, which she said represented 46.82% of total AP scores. She noted a multi-year upward trend in AP participation and passing rates since 2021.
State assessment and ELA cohorts: Mims reviewed ATLAS results for underclass cohorts, noting declines in the proportion of tenth graders at Level 1 and increases at Level 2 and Level 3. For the class of 2028 (tenth graders), Level 1 dropped from 48% to 36% and Level 3 rose from 12% to 17%, she reported.
CTE outcomes: Mims said senior completers in pathway courses rose from 122 to 144 and concentrators were 143. She reported 190 industry certifications earned districtwide (some by underclassmen), and said certifications increased by 55 year over year.
Context and reaction: The principal and the superintendent credited academy and partnership work for some of the gains; board members thanked school staff. No formal board action was tied to the data presentation.
Ending: Mims concluded the school'level data report with a request that the board continue supporting academy partnerships that yield internships, credentials and hands-on experiences for students.
