Lawrence High School Earns Bronze Recognition on College Board’s AP School Honor Roll

Lawrence High School has been named to the College Board’s AP School Honor Roll for the 2024–25 school year, earning Bronze-level recognition for its commitment to expanding access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses and supporting student success.

The AP School Honor Roll celebrates schools that have demonstrated outstanding efforts to welcome more students into AP coursework and help them succeed in college-level learning. At Lawrence High School, students took 25 different AP exams during the past school year, reflecting the breadth of course offerings and strong student participation.

During their high school experience, 41% of LHS seniors took at least one AP exam, with 32% earning a score of three or higher on at least one AP exam. Additionally, 6% of seniors took five or more AP exams, highlighting a high level of academic engagement and perseverance.

Research consistently shows that students who take AP courses and exams are more likely to attend college and graduate on time. Students who earn college credit through AP are often able to accelerate their path to graduation and enter college with increased confidence, while those who do not earn credit still benefit from early exposure to rigorous, college-level expectations and help build a strong college-going culture.

Earning Bronze recognition reflects a significant, schoolwide effort. It takes the dedication of teachers who deliver engaging and challenging instruction, counselors who guide students toward opportunities, administrators who prioritize access and equity, and families who support their students. Most importantly, it reflects the hard work and commitment of Lawrence High School students.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools at four levels of distinction—Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum—based on criteria that emphasize broad participation, college readiness, and a strong college-going culture.

Lawrence High School is proud of this achievement and grateful to its entire school community for making AP access and student success a priority. Congratulations to our students, educators, and families on this well-deserved recognition.
