Summary
OTHS reported an average AP score increase from 3.2 to 3.8, a 92% pass rate (3+), 7,821 college credits earned in 2025–26 and $2.57 million in estimated tuition savings; the district plans to add AP Calculus BC and AP European History next year and is monitoring dual-credit rules under the Dual Credit Quality Act of 2025.
Presenter (S7) told the board that average AP scores improved from 3.2 three years ago to 3.8 this year, with 92% of students who took an AP exam scoring 3 or higher. "Our average AP test score went from, 3.2 years ago to now a 3.8," S7 said, and the district reported an all‑time high in pass rates among test-takers.
S7 also presented dual-credit totals: students earned 7,821 college credits in the 2025–26 school year, producing an estimated $2,574,000 in tuition savings using rates from partner institutions. The district plans to offer two new AP courses next year (AP Calculus BC and AP European History) and is watching the Dual Credit Quality Act of 2025, which requires districts to offer new dual-credit proposals to local community colleges first (SWIC) before expanding elsewhere.
