[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was curious why BCC high school was not on the AP Honor Roll list. (Not sure if it even matters). [b]Is it because of IB focus[/b]?

Yes. Not enough AP takers. [/quote]

So low-performing students?[/quote]
No.[/quote]

There are high performers who never take AP. Including those who are in Dual Enrollment or IB. My DD is in all Dual enrollment this year so she naturally has fewer APs on her record than some other seniors.

There are low performers taking AP because it’s open to all.[/quote]

Since AP Honor Roll is dependent in part on getting more kids to take AP classes, making AP open to all and allowing the so-called "low performers" to take AP actually helps a school make AP honor roll.

Also, many kids at BCC in the IB program only take IB tests (instead of IB and related AP) because they are applying to foreign universities who don't care about AP test scores. [/quote]

See update above. BCC made the AP Honor Roll. The initial list didn’t include it because some of the data was missing. [/quote]
