Ramsey’s rigorous academic programs are a point of pride, and our students are excelling, with a prime example being the soaring success of those in AP Environmental Science.

By the numbers: In 2024-2025, 100 percent of students who took AP Environmental Science scored 3 or above on the AP Exam (5 is the highest possible). This is an increase from 67 percent the year prior.

  • The average score increased from 3.2 to 4.2 in one year.

Yes, but: High achievement does not mean teaching to the test and restricting access to high-level coursework. Two key aspects to our success are

  1. Engaging instruction and experiences for students, and

  2. Increased access to this high-level coursework - more and more students are taking AP courses at RHS. 63 percent of last year’s seniors took at least one AP course and scored 3 or above on at least 1 AP exam.

What They’re Saying: I am incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication of my AP students from last year. Their impressive scores are a direct reflection of their commitment to their studies and a testament to what they can achieve. I strive to prepare students for the demands of college by moving beyond rote memorization through project-based learning. - Mrs. Leschak, AP Environmental Teacher

The bottom line: Our teachers and students work hard, and it shows in our achievements.
