15 Foxcroft Students Earn AP Scholar Status
Three current students and 12 recent graduates of Foxcroft School have earned AP Scholar designation from the College Board for their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Program (AP) Exams taken last May.
Of special note, Kathryn Grant and Elicia Williams, who both graduated in May, became Foxcroft’s first National Scholars and Jillian '07(at left) earned AP Scholar with Honor designation after her sophomore year. National Scholars are U.S. students who receive an average grade of at least 4 (out of 5) on all the AP Exams they have taken and grades of 4 of higher on eight or more of the tests.
“I think these are remarkable results considering the size of our school,” said Academic Dean John Suitor, noting that Foxcroft’s enrollment last year was 180 girls.
Only about 17 percent of the more than one million high school students in some 15,000 secondary schools worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to merit the recognition of AP Scholar. About 90 percent of the members of Foxcroft's last two graduating classes that took four or more AP courses earned AP Scholar. Foxcroft had 12 AP Scholars in 2003-04.
