(11/18/2024) The district congratulates a total of 357 students from the five traditional high schools in Anoka-Hennepin Schools who were named Advanced Placement (AP) scholars based on scores on AP course exams taken during the 2023-24 school year.

Anoka-Hennepin offers more than two dozen different AP courses to high school students which have been audited and approved by the College Board, a nonprofit organization of colleges, universities, secondary schools and higher education institutions focused on college readiness programs. Students who complete an AP course can take an optional exam and earn college credit, depending on their score on the exam and admission requirements at the college or university they attend. An AP exam score of 3 or higher (on a scale of 1 to 5) earns credit at many of the nation’s colleges and universities.

Students can earn AP scholar recognition at three different levels:

• AP Scholar with Distinction is given to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of the exams. 

• AP Scholar with Honor recognizes students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of the exams. 

• AP Scholar is granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP exams taken. 

The Anoka-Hennepin Schools students who were recognized as AP scholars during the 2023-24 school year are listed below by category and school.
