For the fourth consecutive year, Carroll ISD was named to the AP District Honor Roll by the College Board. The honor roll, which has existed for five years, is a list of 547 districts across the U.S. and Canada being honored for increasing access to AP course work while simultaneously maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams, according to the College Board's website.
"Reaching these goals indicates that these districts are successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit from rigorous AP course work," the website says.
“Carroll ISD is truly honored to receive this recognition again this year,” said Gina Peddy, Carroll ISD's Executive Director for Curriculum and Instruction. “We are extremely proud of the efforts of our students, staff, and community. Advanced Placement courses are our most rigorous courses offered and for us, as a district, to receive an award not only for our scores, but also for continuing to increase the participation in this program shows the commitment level from both our students and our staff.” - According to an article on MySouthlakeNews.com.
