Teachers, Parents, & Students – an update from the A+ College Ready celebration conference yesterday:
In brief:
I met with Governor Bentley yesterday at Gadsden City High School with the other schools in the A+ College Ready Initiative. I was the sole representative from Huntsville City, however I was extremely honored to represent New Century and Huntsville City Schools.
Highlights:
New Century had the 2nd highest increase of students taking AP courses (295%), 2nd highest increase in AP qualifying scores (400%), and the tied for first with the highest increase in minority qualifying scores.
Overall 41 New Century students took 103 AP exams this past year – we had 40 qualifying scores.
I could not find any local coverage, but here is an article from the Gadsden Times.
6 Seniors from last year have been recognized as AP Scholars.
Congratulations!
