Talbot County Public Schools Recognizes Advanced Placement Scholars

October 29, 2020 by Talbot County Public Schools

Share

The Board of Education recognized students who have achieved the status of Advanced Placement Scholar through their performance on AP exams during their October meeting.  The list includes members of the classes of 2020 and 2021. AP exams are scored on a 5-point scale, with many colleges and universities granting credits for scores of 3, 4 or 5. A score of 3 or higher on an AP exam indicates that a student is considered “qualified” for college credit and capable of being successful in a college level introductory course in the particular content area.

There are 4 levels of AP Scholar, with definitions as follows:

National AP Scholar – Score of 4 or higher on all exams; completed at least 8 exams

AP Scholar with Distinction – Average score of 3.5 or higher; scores of3 or higher on 5 or more exams

AP Scholar with Honor – Average score of 3.25 or higher; scores of 3 or higher on 4 or more Exams

AP Scholar – Score of 3 or higher on 3 or more exams.

“With Advanced Placement assessments, as with everything else in education, there are differences this year due to COVID-19,” said Dr. Helga Einhorn, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, in her presentation to the Board of Education.  “This year all advanced placement exams were completed on-line.  Due to the extenuating circumstances of school closure, the College Board offered students and families the opportunity to opt out of testing without penalty.  Of those eligible to test, 48 students elected to opt out of an assessment.”

A total of 374 students took at least one of the Advanced Placement tests given.  Of the 548 tests taken, 339 or 62% earned a qualifying score of 3 or above.

James Parkinson and Dillon Prochnicki, members of Easton High’s class of 2020, both earned National Advanced Placement Scholar recognition.

“This is truly a reflection of the talent of our students and the dedication of their teachers in preparing them for these rigorous exams, especially considering all of the challenges faced in the Spring,” said Dr. Einhorn.  “I congratulate them all on their outstanding achievements.”

    I am so glad they are honoring these students. In the late1980’s it was like pulling teeth to get EHS to agree to AP courses. One of my children took the French AP exam with out the school teaching the syllabus. She had read Voltaire so she answered thinking. …”what would Voltaire think” as she had read something different of his works. Not a happy experience. She did well considering and we learned quite a bit about the AP program. Congratulations to all the students. I believe all colleges expect their applicants to have had a few AP courses under their belt!
