Randolph High School is better preparing its students for advanced placement classes, college and future careers than ever before, according to recent Advanced Placement tests results from the College Board.
Randolph High School had a total of 88 Advanced Placement scholars recognized by the College Board for the 2015-16 academic year. This includes 26 AP Scholars, 23 AP Scholars with honor, 39 AP Scholars with Distinction and three National AP Scholars.
Jonathan Olsen, Randolph’s director of Secondary Education, said he was very pleased with the results.
“The students and our teachers have worked hard and the scores reflect this effort,” Olsen said. “Randolph recognizes all these tremendous scholars and the teachers who help prepare them to complete these rigorous courses and exams.”
Randolph High School Principal Debbie Iosso praised RHS students and graduates for their achievements and also recognized the school’s AP teachers.
“We have an outstanding advanced placement program at RHS as evidenced by the more than 80 students who have received AP scholar status as a result of the May 2016 administration of AP exams – some with honor and some with distinction,” she said.
“While many of these students have graduated, 20 of them are current seniors. Each of these categories requires certain scores on each AP exam and that students take multiple exams.   I would also like to recognize the outstanding work of our AP teachers who are charged with preparing these students to succeed on the Advanced Placement exams.“
Three students, who graduated in June, 2016, were name National AP Scholars. They are Katherine Miao, Raghava Ravi, and Kelly Sun.
Overall, Randolph students performed impressively on Advanced Placement exams in 2016. Olsen noted that 93 percent of AP students scored a three or higher on an exam placing Randolph well above the New Jersey average of 72 percent.
