Fayette County Students Earn AP Scholar Awards

A total of 169 Fayette County students have earned Advanced Placement (AP) Scholar awards based on scores of AP tests taken last spring. This total represents 1.5 percent of all of the students in Georgia who received awards.

Award winners are among the 18 percent of the nearly 1.7 million high school students worldwide who scored high enough on their AP exams to earn an AP Scholar award from the College Board.

Students take the exams after completing college-level courses as high school students. Those with a score of three or better can earn college credit.

Although there is no monetary award in addition to receiving a recognition certificate, this achievement is acknowledged on any grade report that is sent to colleges the following fall.
The criteria for each award and the total number of Fayette County students earning them are as follows:

• National AP Scholar Award: Students earned an average grade of four or higher on a five-point scale on all AP exams taken and grades of four or higher on eight or more exams.

Winners: 4

• AP Scholar with Distinction Award: Students earned an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and grades of three or higher on five or more of the exams.
