Fifty-three current students and alumni from Freeport High School have earned the designation of Advanced Placement Scholars for excelling on the 2019 AP exams. The district has continued to see an increase in the number of AP Scholars throughout the years. Graduated senior Saif Ali earned the National AP Scholar designation, which is the highest designation one can achieve. Saif also earned AP Scholar with Distinction, along with nine other students. In addition, eight students were named AP Scholars with Honor and 35 were designated as AP Scholars.
Freeport High School currently offers 27 Advanced Placement courses. AP courses are open to high school students who have demonstrated the required academic skills and are recommended by their teachers to take AP courses. While taking these courses, students must maintain an average of 85% or better to remain at the AP level. This allows students to earn college credits during their high school career, advanced placement or both for successful performance on the AP exams. As college admissions become more competitive and tuitions more costly, participation in AP courses has become an increasingly important component for acceptance to the top colleges and universities. Successful completion of AP courses is also considered a good indicator of future success by most colleges.
