4. Overall Avg. AP Score since 2009
Met with AP Teachers this fall to collaborate how to support via professional development, ancillaries, networks, etc.
THIS IS GOOD BUT WE NEED TO STAY LASER FOCUSED ON THE 3+ % BECAUSE THAT PROVIDES MORE USEFUL DATA AS THE IMPETUS TO DRIVE CHANGE.

5. Scores of 3 or Higher since 2009
Fluctuates between 63% to 72%
-Had AP Conversations to review AP Reports, resources, curriculum, etc > Goal to improve % to reach 80%!
THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL TAKE TIME FOR INCREMENTAL GROWTH AND REQUIRES STRATEGIC FOCUS THAT IS TAILORED TO EACH COURSE AND TEACHER TO SUPPORT THEIR PROGRESS. THE GOAL WILL BE TO ATTAIN 70% 3+ ON A CONSISTENT BASIS AS AN ENTIRE SCHOOL. MANY OF OUR TEACHERS ATTAIN THIS BENCHMARK ALREADY.
