Boswell High School has been named to the 2024 Advanced Placement Program (AP) School Honor Roll by the College Board, earning Bronze distinction.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access.
Schools earn this recognition based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.
“We are excited about this accomplishment and thankful to be recognized for the hard work put in by our teachers, staff and students,” said Vaughn Flagler, Boswell High School Principal. “Preparing for and going to college is something we value here at Boswell, and we continue to look for newer and better ways to promote our students furthering their education post high school graduation. We will celebrate this distinction while challenging our teachers and students to build on this great achievement.”
Boswell High School had 249 seniors during the 2023-2024 school year who took at least one AP Exam during high school, 33% of seniors scoring a three or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 13% of seniors who took five or more AP Exams.
“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.”
Boswell High School offers over 30 AP courses that are taught by highly qualified world class educators, providing students with personalized opportunities to earn college credit while still in high school.
We are #EMSproud of Boswell High School’s students and educators for their commitment to academic excellence and college readiness.
