WOODSTOCK --- Woodstock Academy Headmaster Kim Caron announced that 18 current students and recent graduates of the Academy have earned the designation of AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Program ® (AP®) Exams through May of 2010. The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program provides motivated and academically prepared students the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. About 18% of the more than 1.7 million high school students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award.
Woodstock Academy students took AP Exams in May 2010 after completing challenging college-level courses at the Academy. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on student performance on AP Exams.
Four Woodstock Academy students qualified the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. Those students were: Megan Audet, Nicole Bowen, Timothy Curry, and Michael Martin, all members of the Class of 2010.
Seven students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. These students were also members of the Class of 2010: John Bartolotta, Melissa Incera, Anneliese Mahoney, Mariah Rae, Elizabeth Stever, Emily Swenson, Maya Tarabishy.
Seven students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Exams with grades of 3 or higher. Of this year’s award recipients, two are now seniors: Erin Kelly and Jacob Zinn. These students have at least one more year in which to complete college-level work and possibly earn another AP Scholar Award. Joining these seniors in the same category were members of the Class of 2010: Lindsay Gardner, Arthur Guerra, Joseph Perreault, Margo Smutnick, and Julia Thayer.
