Both Valley View School District High Schools Named To AP Honor Roll

BOLINGBROOK, IL — The College Board announced that Bolingbrook High School and Romeoville High School have both been named to the 2025 Advanced Placement Program School Honor Roll, earning AP Silver distinction, the District shared in a news release.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening participation, the District said.

In the 2024-25 school year, Bolingbrook HS had 61 percent of seniors take at least one AP Exam during high school, 42 percent of seniors scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 22 percent of seniors took five or more AP Exams.

Romeoville HS had 57 percent of seniors take at least one AP Exam during high school, 42 percent of seniors scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 30 percent of seniors took five or more AP Exams.

“This continued recognition reflects over a decade of intentional, District-wide work to build a strong Pre-K– 12 learning system,” Romeoville High School Principal Derek Kinder said in a news release. “Our students’ success is the result of the collective efforts of our elementary, middle, and high school educators and leaders, who together have created a culture of equity, access, and high expectations for Every Learner, Every Day.”

Both high schools are within ten percentage points of the 65 percent threshold in the category of percentage of students taking at least one exam and earning AP Gold distinction.

“This recognition of our schools shows what’s possible when effort meets opportunity,” Bolingbrook HS Principal Dr. Jason Pascavage said in a news release. “The AP Honor Roll means our students chose challenge over comfort and that choice matters. This award confirms their hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed.”

“AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, earn college credit and placement, and build professional career skills they can use no matter what path they choose after high school,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “Congratulations to this year’s AP School Honor Roll recipients for proving it’s possible to expand participation in these rigorous courses and still drive strong performance.”
