All three Harmony Public Schools-Central Texas high schools named to the 2024 AP School Honor Roll! 

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs deliver results and broaden student access.

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Harmony Public Schools is thrilled to announce that all three of its high schools have been named to the 2024 AP School Honor Roll! 

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs deliver results and broaden student access.

Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing their 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.

Harmony's 2024 awards are as follows:
The AP School Honor Roll celebrates the academic achievements of students from traditionally underserved groups, including students of color, first-generation students, and those from rural areas.
Students in 10th or 11th grade can qualify for the National Recognition Program Award if they meet the following:

• Score in the Top 10 percent of test-takers from their state on the fall Fall PSAT/NMSGT or Spring PSAT;
• Or earn a 3+ on two or more distinct AP exams in the 9th and/or 10th grade;
• And earn a cumulative 3.3 GPA or higher;
• And identify among a traditionally underserved group.

The College Board also recognized all three Harmony High School campuses with its prestigious AP Honor Roll for the schools' outstanding commitment to fostering a college-ready culture and optimizing opportunities for students to earn college credit.

To be considered for the awards, schools must meet the following criteria:

• College Culture: 40% or more of the graduating cohort took at least 1 AP Exam during high school;
• College Credit: 25% or more of the graduating cohort scored a 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam during high school;
• College Optimization: 2% or more of the graduating cohort took 5 or more AP Exams during high school. At least 1 of those exams was taken in 9th or 10th grade, so that students are spreading their AP experience across grades rather than feeling disproportionate pressure in any single year.
