AUBURN — Twenty-one students at Edward Little have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP Exams. The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement or both for successful performance on the AP Exams.
About 18 percent of the 1.7 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP Exams.
At Edward Little, Emily Dodge qualified for a State AP Scholar Award. The designation of State AP Scholar is granted to the one male and one female student in each U.S. state and the District of Columbia with grades of 3 or higher on the greatest number of AP Exams and then the highest average grade on all AP Exams taken.
Eight students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. These students are Grady Burns, Emily Dodge, Ethan Grund, Stephen Knowlton, Sarah Olstein, Neil Pomerleau, Emma Roy and Muriel Schwinn.
Two students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. These students are Annie Helmkamp and Karen Leary.
Eleven students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Exams with grades of 3 or higher. The AP Scholars are Rebecca Barton, Zachary Bennett, Natalie Bornstein, Timothy Brodsky, Abigail Downs, Ilana Freedman, Ethan Grund, Brandon Gruver, Hanna Mogensen, Erin Richmond and Jeremy Theriault.
Of this year’s award recipients at Edward Little, six are seniors: Rebecca Barton, Natalie Bornstein, Timothy Brodsky, Hanna Mogensen, Sarah Olstein and Jeremy Theriault. These students have at least one more year in which to complete college-level work and possibly earn a higher-level AP Scholar Award.
