AP Honor Roll - Platinum

Lutheran High School of San Antonio would like to congratulate our students and teachers, and we are proud to announce that we have been recognized on the prestigious 2023 AP School Honor Roll at the Platinum Level. This achievement highlights our commitment to pursuing educational excellence and helping our students to impact the community to the glory of Jesus Christ. 

The Advanced Placement (AP) School Honor Roll is a recognition program across the U.S. and Canada that demonstrates important achievement in their AP programs. These schools have committed to expanding access to college credit opportunities and maximizing college readiness for their students.
Of the 4,570 schools recognized on the 2023 AP School Honor Roll, only 886 schools (6% of eligible schools) received Platinum level AP School Honor Roll recognition. 
​
For a school to be recognized on the AP School Honor Roll in a given year, it must meet each of the following criteria for their students in the most recent graduating class; these criteria are anchored in research-based relationships between AP and college outcomes: 

• College Culture: 40% or more of the graduating cohort took at least 1 AP Exam during high school.
• College Credit: 25% or more of the graduating cohort scored a 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam during high school.
• College Optimization: 2% or more of the graduating cohort took 5 or more AP Exams during high school. At least 1 of those exams was taken in 9th or 10th grade, so that students are spreading their AP experience across grades rather than feeling disproportionate pressure in any single year. 
  ​

Research has consistently shown that students participating in AP courses and exams are more likely to attend college and graduate on time. 
Data shows more than 73 percent of students who took the AP exam during the 2022-2023 school year scored a 3 or higher, representing a trend of similar success over time.
