 Irvington, NY - Sixty-six students at Irvington High School have earned the designation of AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Exams.
Two students qualified for the National AP Scholar Award by earning an average grade of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams. These students are Hidemasa Kato and Justin Ross.
The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school, and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. About 17% of the more than one million high school students in almost 15,000 secondary schools worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to merit the recognition of AP Scholar.
