Bradwell Institute and Liberty County High have again been recognized by the Georgia Department of Education as Advanced Placement Honor Schools, the Liberty County School System announced earlier.
Bradwell was recognized as an AP STEM School and Liberty was recognized as an AP Access and Support School.
Advanced Placement courses are administered by the College Board, which also administers the SAT. AP courses are one of several ways Georgia students can access college-level learning opportunities while in high school. Students who receive a 3, 4, or 5 on AP exams are often eligible to receive college credit for those courses.
AP STEM Schools must have a minimum of five students testing in at least four AP STEM courses (calculus, statistics, biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics, or computer science). AP Access and Support Schools have at least 30 percent of their AP exams taken by students who identified as African-American and/or Hispanic, and 30 percent of all AP exams earning scores of 3 or higher.
“These awards recognize the dedication and hard work of our AP teachers to ensure students are prepared for college and career after graduation. It also shows the hard work of our AP students as they challenge themselves with rigorous coursework,” Liberty County Superintendent Dr. Franklin Perry said.
State Superintendent Richard Woods said, “I sincerely congratulate each of this year’s AP Honor Schools on their achievement. Additionally, I thank each teacher, student, and school- and district-level administrator for their diligent work creating strong AP opportunities in these 273 Georgia schools.”
