Summary
The board recognized ACDA honor-choir students, state-qualified cross country athletes and multiple National Merit honorees; officials said Lake Central’s AP results exceed state averages and highlighted a range of high pass rates in individual AP courses.
The Lake Central School Corporation board used part of its Nov. 17 meeting to recognize student and teacher achievement across arts, athletics and academics.
At Clark Middle School, four students were selected for the Midwest ACDA honor choir from nearly 900 auditions across 11 states; the concert is scheduled for Milwaukee in February. Coaches and staff also recognized boys and girls cross country teams for conference, sectional and regional achievements and named individual state qualifiers.
Superintendent-level remarks and administrators recognized eight National Merit commended students and three semifinalists. The board also acknowledged a long list of AP teachers and an AP test coordinator, citing strong pass rates: several teachers were recognized for 100% pass rates in specific AP subjects, one teacher reported a 90% pass rate in AP Macroeconomics, and other teachers posted pass rates in the 90% range. Administrators said the district offers 22 AP courses and reported that about 61% of AP exam takers scored a 3 or higher on AP exams (the presentation cited 581 exams with a 3-or-better outcome).
The board was told AP Capstone offerings have expanded and that Lake Central’s overall AP performance exceeds Indiana averages in most subjects, though officials noted a few areas near the state average. Presenters said AP seminar and research emphasize writing and that the district has doubled its Capstone diploma candidates to 20 for the 2025 cohort.
Several teachers were named and presented with small trophies in recognition of their work preparing students for AP exams.
