To be included on the 7th Annual Honor Roll, HCPSS had to increase the number of students participating in AP while also increasing or maintaining the percentage of students earning Advanced Placement (AP) Exam scores of 3 or higher since 2014. Reaching these goals shows that a district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are ready for AP courses.
