The College Board has announced that Eastside High School has been named to the 2024 Platinum AP (Advanced Placement) Honor Roll.
On its website, the College Board, which administers the AP program, says the Honor Roll program “recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access.” Schools can earn the 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. The program offers four levels of recognition — Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
“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.”
