Wayne Schools Honored For Students' AP Exam Performance

More Wayne students are enrolling in Advanced Placement classes and more students are earning higher marks on Advanced Placement tests.

This uptick in numbers has led the Wayne Public School District to be placed on the College Board’s annual AP District Honor Roll. Only 425 school districts in the United States were named to the honor roll this year.

The honor is bestowed to districts that increase access to Advanced Placement courses while maintaining or increasing the percentage of students who earn a three or better on AP exams.

Superintendent Mark Toback said the accomplishment is meaningful because “it is a great example of how a team of gifted educators can really influence our instructional program in a positive way.”

Last year, Director of Secondary Education Toni Liskiewicz and the Wayne Hills and Wayne Valley principals discussed ways the schools could improve access and performance to AP classes and tests. Eighty-nine more students enrolled in AP courses at the high schools as a result of the efforts.

Inclusion to the honor roll is based on three years of AP data, from 2013 to 2015.
