College Board announced that Washington Township High School has been named to the 2025 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning Gold distinction. The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening participation. 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.
Washington Township High School had 68% (Gold rating, 80% to achieve Platinum)) of seniors who took at least one AP Exam during high school, 50% (Platinum rating) of seniors scoring a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 11% (Gold rating, 15% to achieve Platinum) of seniors who took five or more AP Exams!
Washington Township High School currently offers 11 AP courses across five disciplines with nine different teachers. “Our students seek out challenging and rigorous coursework and our teachers deliver. We are proud of the efforts and success of our students. Our teachers are eager to provide high quality instruction to better prepare our students for post-secondary endeavors” said Principal Chris Fields.
“AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, earn college credit and placement, and build professional career skills they can use no matter what path they choose after high school,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “Congratulations to this year’s AP School Honor Roll recipients for proving it’s possible to expand participation in these rigorous courses and still drive strong performance.”
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
