2023-2024 AP Exam Update

Advanced Placement (AP) exam results for the 2023-2024 school show about 10% more Barrow County School System students took the tests than during the previous school year.

Students need to score a 3 or higher to earn college credit. The district total pass rate remains higher than in the years before and during COVID-19. Our students participated in 20 different exam subjects, and we surpassed the average U.S. pass rate on 8 of those 20. [See details here.]

Apalachee High School, Barrow Arts and Sciences Academy, and Winder-Barrow High School had students score 68 fives – or perfect scores – on exams. Some standout stats include:

  • BCSS had 6 students who scored 5s on at least 3 different exams
     

In all, 584 BCSS students took a total of 987 AP Exams during the 2023-24 school year.

“It’s promising to see more students experiencing success in these college-level courses in our high schools. Our goal is to keep encouraging them to set goals for growth opportunities,” said BCSS Superintendent Dr. Dallas LeDuff.

Apalachee High School celebrated their students who scored a perfect 5 with yard signs.
