Congratulations to Riverside High School which was named to the 2024 AP School Honor Roll!
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP program are delivering results and broadening access for students. Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing their school’s college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Riverside had 80% of seniors who took at least one AP Exam during high school, 69% of seniors scoring a three or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 37% of seniors who took five or more AP Exams! As a result, Riverside is a PLATINUM member of the Honor Roll!
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Taking AP courses demonstrates to college admissions officers that students have sought the most challenging curriculum available to them, and research indicates that students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than non-AP students.
The Riverside High School Counseling Department earned a Blue Star for the 2023-2024 school year! Congratulations! We are so proud of all your accomplishments! Keep up the amazing work that you are doing for your students, school, and community!
