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.

Dear All,

We truly believe that all students have amazing potential. However, ensuring students achieve and even surpass that potential takes personal time commitment, high expectations, and non-stop dedication from all those around them as well, something few high schools are able to provide in full. Without a doubt though, the extraordinary achievements of our students are the products of our incredibly unique and rigorous program combined with the countless hours our teachers and administrators are willing to volunteer, well into the evenings and weekends, to make sure our students achieve their biggest dreams both in and out of the classroom. It is because of this that an astonishing 18% of our current graduating class has been accepted into the Top-10 most prestigious universities, a statistic that would rank our school among the 10 best in the country and #1 in Florida!!!

We take an incredible amount of pride in the accomplishments of our students. For us at A.U.C., our students’ successes are deeply personal. We are after all a family and are, therefore, extremely happy and so very proud to share with you Archimedean Upper Conservatory Class of 2013’s great college acceptance successes.

Please find below the list of all higher education institutions that the 33 students of A.U.C.’s Class of 2013 have been accepted into.

Realmente creemos que todos los estudiantes tienen un potencial incredible. De cualquier modo, asegurarse de que los estudiantes materialicen y sobrepasen ese potencial toma compromiso de tiempo personal, grandes expectativas y una dedicacion sin fronteras de todos los que los rodean. Esto es algo que solo pocas de las escuelas secundarias puden proveer completamente. Sin ninguna duda, los logros extraordinarios de nuestros estudiantes son el producto de nuestro curriculum riguroso y unico, combinado con las incontables horas que nuestros maestros y administradores estan dispuestos a donar—incluido tardes y fines de semana—para asegurarse de que nuestros estudiantes puedan alcanzar sus suenos, tanto dentro como fuera de las aulas. Es gracias a esto que un increible percentaje, 18%, de nuestra Clase de Graduados del 2013 han sido aceptados a las universidades clasificadas entre las 10 mejores de todo el pais. Esta estadistica pondra a Archimedean Upper Conservarory entre las mejores 10 escuelas secundarias del pais y la #1 en Florida!!!

Cada uno de nosotros encuentra en los logros de nuestros estudiantes gran orgullo. Para todos los que formamos parte de A.U.C., el exito de nuestros estudiantes es profundamente personal. Nosotros nos consideramos una familia y por lo tanto estamos extremadamente felices y muy orgullosos de poder compartir con ustedes los logros de la Clase de Graduados del 2013 de Archimedean Upper Conservatory.

Estamos extasiados por el hecho de que este logro representa el mejor nivel de admisiones a universidades entre todas las escuelas publicas, de programas especializados (magnet) y charter de todo el condado de Miami-Dade!

Como ustedes pueden ver, y seguramente ya sepan, un curriculum fuera de lo normal combinado con la passion por excelencia de todos nuestros maestros marca una gran diferencia en el futuro de los muchachos, asi como lo hara con el suyo.

Realmente esperamos entusiasmadamente poder trabajar con ustedes y sus hijos para poder festejar, cada primavera, el mismo nivel de exito con ustedes como lo estamos haciendo ahora con la Clase del 2013.
