“We are proud to see such strong and growing interest in AP courses,” Cindy Green, MMSD’s assistant superintendent of teaching and learning, said. “These numbers speak not only to our students’ ambition, but also to the many educators and support systems behind them. AP participation opens doors for our students—academically, financially and in terms of college and career readiness.”
The Advanced Placement courses are designed similar to college-level classes. Students are required to participate in high-level content, independent study and critical thinking. Exams are scored on a scale of one to 5, with scores of a three or higher often award students college credit.
“This kind of sustained growth doesn’t happen by accident,” MMSD’s Director of Assessment Tim Peterson said. “It’s the result of a coordinated effort—driven by teachers, counselors, AVID leaders and our AP coordinators—to ensure students are challenged, supported and prepared. We’re excited to build on this momentum and continue expanding equitable access to AP opportunities.”
MMSD offers a variety of AP courses covering topics that include mathematics, science, English, social studies and music theory.
