AP Humanities Achievemen­t School: AP Humanities schools (see above definition) with at least 50% of all AP Humanities exams earning scores of three or higher.

AP STEM Achievemen­t School: AP STEM schools (see above definition) with at least 50% of all AP STEM exams earning scores of 3 or higher.

Last year, Rome High gave 524 AP exams. 39 of those students scored a five, which is the highest score students can achieve; 59 students scored a four, and 78 students scored a three. Currently, Rome High offers 26 AP classes to students, with plans to add more in the future.

“AP is a huge part of what we do at Rome City Schools, so this announceme­nt is extremely important to us,” explained Rome City Schools Superinten­dent, Louis Byars. “AP has always been a strong program, and this helps show how strong our program is.”

He continued, “We hope to give our students an opportunit­y to choose a path they feel most excited about, as well as a path that will best prepare them for a successful future. AP classes are a huge part of that accomplish­ment. I am very proud of the students for their hard work.”
