Screven County High School has been recognized for two different Advanced Placement exam distinctions.
State School Superintendent Richard Woods recently named 276 Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools from 99 school districts for 2024. The 2024 AP Honor Schools are named in eight categories based on the results of 2023 AP courses and exams.
AP exams 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 at the high school level; students who receive a 3, 4, or 5 on an AP exam may receive college credit. GaDOE began recognizing AP Honor Schools in 2008.
“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the 2024 AP Honor Schools,” Superintendent Woods said. “I commend them for their hard work to build strong Advanced Placement programs and, as a result, provide high-quality opportunities for Georgia students. Additionally, I am thrilled that the number of AP Honor Schools and school districts continues to rise each year – a testament to the commitment of Georgia public education to expand opportunities for all Georgia students.”
Screven County High School was recognized as an AP Challenge School and an AP Expansion School.
AP Challenge Schools – Schools with enrollments of 900 or fewer students and exams administered in English, math, science, and social studies and a minimum of 25 total exams administered.
AP Expansion Schools – AP schools with 25% growth in AP student participation from May 2022 to May 2023 and a minimum of 25 students testing in May 2022.
