Rome High announces that 42 students were named AP Scholars by the College Board for their performance on the Advanced Placement (AP) tests for 2012. The 42 AP Scholars is a new record for Rome High School.

Rome had 28 students named AP Scholar, 10 students named AP School with Honors and four students named AP Scholar with Distinction. This is a tremendous accomplishment for the teachers of the AP classes and the students that took the challenge of the most rigorous courses at our high school.

A total of 329 AP tests were taken at Rome High last year by 192 students. The number of tests taken was a 66% increase from 2011. This current school year, 2012 - 2013, there are 629 AP classes being taken by students at our high school. Could a new record for the number of AP Scholars be reached again at Rome High in 2013?
