The number of Haverhill High School students who will receive college credits based on last spring’s advanced placement course exams is up 68.6%.
High School Associate Principal Victoria Lu recently gave the news to Haverhill School Committee members. She said the school currently offers 27 AP classes that grant students college credit if they score at least a three on the AP exam.
More than 320 high school students took AP exams following their successful completion of an AP course this spring, a 54% increase over the 2022 school year.
Two new AP classes are being offered in the upcoming school year—AP Research and AP Business and Personal Finance, Lu added. Beginning next year, the AP business class will be offered to ninth graders—the first AP course to be made available to the high school’s youngest students.
Chief of Teaching, Learning and Leading Michael Rossi reported 1,543 students participated in summer programs ranging from Discovery Club and one-on-one tutoring to a four-day math acceleration program.
