Riverhead Students Named AP Scholars

Riverhead Central School District recently released a list of students receiving recognition for their performance on Advanced Placement exams from last year.

In the 2014-2015 school year, 299 students took 551 AP exams.

A total of 37 of those students received the distinction of receiving the designation of AP Scholars, 11 students were named AP Scholars with Distinction and two were named National AP Scholars.

“We are very proud of the growth that our students have shown in both taking and excelling on AP exams,” RCSD Superintendent of Schools Nancy Carney said. “We applaud our faculty, administrators, and parents for encouraging students to take these rigorous courses that will better prepare our graduates for college.”

The District has teamed with Suffolk County Community College to to offer our students college credit through SCCC’s Early College Program, which a total of 25 students participated in, according to Carney.

The distinction of AP Scholar is granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams.

An AP Scholar with Distinction is a student who has received an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.
