scHool neWs AQ EARNS 2024 AP SCHOOL HONOR ROLL RECOGNITION The Aquinas Institute of Rochester Earns GOLD WITH ACCESS MULTI-YEAR RECOGNITION The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering wide-reaching results for their students. These are schools that have done outstanding work to welcome more students into AP courses and support them on the path to college success. The AP School Honor Roll, which replaces the previous AP District Honor Roll, offers schools recognition across four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Schools on the AP School Honor Roll may also earn the AP Access Award if the percentage of AP Exam takers who are underrepresented minority and/ or low-income students mirrors the school’s overall student demographics. Schools can also earn the MultiYear Recognition for being recognized for a second year (AP School Honor Roll launched in 2023). As of October 2024, Aquinas earned AP School Honor Roll Gold with Access and a multi-year recognition! “AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, to earn college credit and placement, and to potentially boost their grade point averages. e schools that have earned this distinction are proof that it is possible to expand access to these college-level courses and still drive strong performance—they represent the best of AP.” — Trevor Packer, Senior Vice President AP & Instruction Community’s Choice Awards 2024 Winner – Best Private School e Aquinas Institute Voted Best Private School for 5th Year in a Row!
