·         We received our Advanced Placement scores for this past year and they reflect the high achievement of our students.  <?xml:namespace prefix = o />

·         Advanced Placement classes are highly rigorous and challenging.  The AP test, given in May, is scored on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score.  The AP program is nationally recognized as being among the most academically challenging programs offered to high school students.  Students who receive a score of 3 or better on the AP test can receive credit for the class from most colleges and universities.

·         In AP Literature, 8 of 9 students took the test.  The class average was a 3.5, with 5 students scoring a 4 and 2 students scoring a 3.  The class instructor was Ms. Hannah Cevoli.

·         In AP Calculus, 5 of 6 students took the test, with all five scoring a 3 or better.  The AP Calculus instructor is Mr. Thomas Yeaw.

·         In AP United States History, all 15 students in the class took the test.  The class average was a 3.7, which was above the national average.  On this test, four students received a score of 3, six students received a 4, and three students scored a 5.  This class is instructed by Ms. Kimberly Rawson.

·         The following students deserve recognition for scoring a perfect score of 5 on their AP tests:

o   Philip Dupuis (class of 2010)- AP Calculus AB

o   Alec Dalton (class of 2011)- US History

o   Lindsay Lachapelle (class of 2011)- US History

o   Caitlin Sheridan (class of 2011)- US History

·         We are proud to offer three additional Advanced Placement classes for the upcoming year: AP Physics, AP Spanish, and AP Government.  The willingness of our students to challenge themselves reflects the high expectations of the entire high school faculty.
