Morris district: 89% of AP students scored 3 or higher after district paid exam fees
Summary
Guidance director Sophia Kenny said 89% of AP students scored a 3 or higher and that district coverage of AP exam fees produced a 98% exam-taking rate and a 10.11% increase in tests taken year-over-year.
Sophia Kenny told the board the district has seen improved AP performance over five years and highlighted two operational changes this year: an increase in AP participation and district coverage of AP exam fees. "89% of our students received a three or higher in the AP courses," she said, and the district covered the cost of each AP exam so students could focus on preparing rather than paying for tests.
Kenny also reported a 10.11% increase in AP tests taken this school year and a 98% exam-taking rate among students enrolled in AP courses. She explained that AP credits can affect freshman course placement at colleges — earning a 3 or higher can lead to exemption from introductory college courses, depending on the institution.
