Upon Entering Week Two Of AP Exams, A.U.C. Students Looking To Repeat Their 2012 Best In Miami-Dade Performance

13 May 2013
With the 2013 Advanced Placement (AP) exams well underway, the students of the Upper Conservatory seem poised to repeat last-year's Best in Miami-Dade performance.
Based on last year's results, which can be found on FLDOE's Accountability Reporting site, Archimedean Upper Conservatory's students had collectively the best performance in the college-level Advanced Placement exams among all public high schools in Miami-Dade. Combining the percent of students participating in the APs (breadth of the program), the average number of AP exams per student (depth of the program), and the AP passing rate (success of the program), we are very proud to report that AUC outperformed all other public high schools in Miami!
In last year's 2012 exams, Archimedean Upper Conservatory students proved that they have the skills and knowledge necessary to not only learn but also master college-level content. Excitingly, for the third straight year, AUC outperformed both Florida and the Global population in percetange of students passing an AP exam. Furthermore AUC's combined passing rate in all AP exams in 2012 matched that of 2011 even though the number of AP exams taken in 2012 doubled from the year before while the number of AP students in 2012 increased by 50%! All together, this shows that although our program grew significantly last year, with more students than ever before taking a these rigorous and challenging college-level courses, the quality of learning and the performance in the exams was maintained at the same high levels as before.
At the individual level, we would like to congratulate all 34 AUC students who were designated as AP Scholars after the 2012 AP exams.Telling of the strength of AUC's AP program is the fact that 44% of last year's graduating senior Class of 2012 finsihed high school with an AP Scholar award.
