College Board announced that Stoughton High School has been named to the 2024 Advanced Placement Program School Honor Roll, earning bronze distinction.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results and broadening access for students. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.
Stoughton High School had 43% of seniors who took at least one AP Exam during high school, 30% of seniors scoring a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 3% of seniors who took five or more AP Exams.
SHS offers 15 different AP Courses and 20 sections of AP Courses in total.
"We are incredibly proud to be named to the 2024 AP School Honor Roll. This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our students and staff, who continually strive for academic excellence. Our commitment to providing rigorous and diverse educational opportunities prepares our students for success in their future endeavors. This achievement is a testament to our incredible learning community,” said SHS Principal Juliette Miller.
“AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, to earn college credit and placement, and to potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “The schools that have earned this distinction are proof that it is possible to expand access to these college-level courses and still drive strong performance – they represent the best of AP.”
Stoughton High was recently named as a School of Recognition by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) for the school’s accountability results, showing tremendous performance in MCAS achievement, MCAS growth, and reducing chronic absenteeism.
