Cherokee County high school students improved their performance on College Board Advanced Placement exams in 2018, with 74 percent scoring a “3” or higher to be eligible for college credit, up from 71 percent the year before, district officials announced.
A total of 2,495 students in six high schools took 4,771 AP exams this year, Cherokee officials said.
“AP courses are the most rigorous courses offered at the high school level, and these students challenged themselves to aim for the highest bar,” said Cherokee schools Superintendent Brian V. Hightower.
“I am extremely proud of their dedication, and I am also proud of our AP teachers for providing the college-level instruction needed to ensure their students could succeed on the national exams,” Hightower said. “AP achievement makes it possible for students to start college with a semester or more of credit, which is a huge time and cost savings.”
