Roger Bacon High School named to 2025 AP School Honor Roll

We are proud to announce that Roger Bacon has been named to the 2025 AP School Honor Roll! The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP program are delivering results and broadening participation for students. This is the second year in a row that Roger Bacon has been named.

Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing their school’s college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

Roger Bacon offers 12 AP® courses and has 11 faculty members teaching an AP® course. In 2025, Roger Bacon had 53 Seniors took a total of 144 AP exams. Of those exams taken, 88% of those exams earned a score of 3 or higher - earning that student college credit!

Roger Bacon's Dean of Academics, Julie Vehorn said, "Our students’ success on AP exams exemplifies the rigor of our curriculum and the dedication of our students and faculty. The strength of the AP program is one way we support our students to go forward to greater things as they move beyond the walls of Roger Bacon, and we are proud of their achievements.”

College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Taking AP courses demonstrates to college admissions officers that students have sought the most challenging curriculum available to them, and research indicates that students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than non-AP students.
