Below is a press release from Wilmington High School:
WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington High School is proud to announce that our students have set new records in performance on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) exams during the 2023-24 school year.
This year, 84% of all WHS AP students earned scores of 3 or higher, a significant increase from previous years. Additionally, WHS students achieved a new record-high overall mean score across all subject areas, as well as new record-high mean scores in Calculus AB, Computer Science, Microeconomics, Physics 1, Physics 2, Statistics, US Government & Politics, US History, and Modern World History. WHS students’ mean scores beat the Massachusetts average scores in the aforementioned subjects, as well as AP Biology, English Language & Composition, English Literature & Composition, Pre-Calculus, Psychology, and Spanish. These results highlight the comprehensive and rigorous academic programs offered at Wilmington High School.
“We are incredibly proud of our school community,” said Wilmington High School Principal Ryan Gendron. “This impressive achievement indicates the powerful learning community that has been established at WHS. It reflects our commitment to providing high-quality education and ensuring that our students are well-prepared for their future academic and career endeavors.”
According to the College Board, the Advanced Placement Program enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. The AP Program develops college-level courses that high schools can choose to offer and corresponding AP Exams that are administered once a year. In addition to the current 16 AP classes, Wilmington High School will add AP Environmental Science and AP Art & Design for the 2024-25 school year.
“These results exemplify our district’s commitment to helping students realize their full potential,” said Wilmington Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Glenn Brand. “One of our goals as a district is to ensure that our educators provide challenging, engaging and relevant instruction responsive to the needs of our students. These recent results highlight this commitment and we are thrilled for our students’ success and proud of our educators for helping them get there.”
