2024 Advanced Placement Scores Improve for 4th Straight Year
The results of the 2024 Advanced Placement (AP) tests are in, and for the fourth straight year, the scores have improved. 

Christopher Dean, Assistant Principal, said that 66% of the 166 students who took one of the 18 AP tests received a 3 or higher (on the five-point scale). Dean says this is the highest total over the last five years, and cites four straight years of improvement since COVID. 

Furthermore, over the five-year span, the following AP classes had their best cumulative scores in 2024. 
  • Calculus AB
  • Chemistry
  • French
  • Microeconomics
  • Physics 1
  • Statistics
  • US Government
  • US History
DLS Curriculum Coordinator Annmarie Michol cited three factors in the improved scores. 
  • Teachers have utilized resources provided by the college board to help assess student performance throughout the course.  
  • Furthermore, teachers have broken down the test, and have allowed for practice testing in timed situations to allow students to experience taking longer tests. 
  • Lastly, teachers have continually enrolled in professional development courses to guide their instruction and practice. 
In all, students took 336 AP exams in the following subject areas: 
 
  • AP Biology
  • AP Calculus AB 
  • AP Calculus BC
  • AP Chemistry
  • AP Computer Science A
  • AP Computer Science Principles 
  • AP English Language and Composition
