166 District 6 students earn AP Scholar honors

This year, 166 Greeley-Evans School District 6 students have earned the prestigious AP Scholars award for their outstanding performance on 2023 Advanced Placement tests, more than any other previous year.

The College Board’s Advanced Placement program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses and exams while in high school. District 6 offers more than 20 Advanced Placement courses to high school students. Students who score well on AP exams are eligible to receive college credit, advanced placement in college, or both at more than 3,200 colleges and universities across the United States. 

Annually, the College Board recognizes those students who have taken multiple AP exams and scored well on them:

• AP Scholar: Students who earned scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP exams.
• AP Scholar with Honor: Students who earned an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and had scores of 3 or higher on at least four exams.
• AP Scholar with Distinction: Students who earned an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and had scores of 3 or higher on at least five exams.
• AP Capstone Seminar and Research Certificate: Students who earned scores of three or higher on AP Seminar and AP Research, but not on four additional AP exams.
• AP Capstone Diploma: Student who earned scores of 3 or higher on AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP exams of their choosing.
• AP International Diploma: Students who display exceptional achievement across a variety of disciplines. This diploma is automatically awarded to students who qualify.

Greeley Central High School led among District 6 high schools with 67 AP Scholars this year, including one student who earned an AP International Diploma, four students who earned AP Seminar and Research Certificates and four students who earned AP Capstone Diplomas. Greeley West High School, which also has the International Baccalaureate program, had 41 AP Scholars this year. And Northridge High School had 39 AP Scholars, including 14 who received AP Seminar and Research Certificates and three who earned AP Capstone Diplomas.

District 6 has more than doubled the number of students achieving AP Scholar status over the decade. In 2012, the number of AP Scholars was 57. Over the past 16 years, more than 1,400 District 6 students have been named as AP Scholars by the College Board.

The College Board’s AP exams are developed by a national committee of college and university faculty and AP teachers, ensuring that the exams are aligned with the same high standards expected by college faculty at some of the nation's leading liberal arts and research institutions
