1 big thing: 🥇 RHS earns spot on AP Honor Roll
What's happening: Ramsey High School has once again been named to the 2025 AP School Honor Roll.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP program are delivering results and broadening participation for students.
While RHS earned gold last year as well, it improved in each of the three areas and in overall score.
The big picture: Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing their school’s college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
By the numbers: In May 2025, 279 students took 620 exams in 23 academic subjects. 85 percent of test takers scored a 3 or higher.
What they’re saying: “We are incredibly proud of our students' performance on last year's AP exams and credit our tremendous teaching staff and supervisors for their tireless efforts to bring out the best in our students via thoughtfully designed curriculum and expert instructional practices, shared Michael Biggan, Director of High School Education. “We have overseen exponential growth over the last decade plus in not only AP class enrollments but also the number of individual students who have taken at least one AP. To achieve these numbers while preserving high achievement on these exams is remarkable.”
The bottom line: This is a monumental achievement for our staff and students that demands our highest praise.
