The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering wide-reaching results for their students and Marshall Fundamental has received this honor by demonstrating a clear and effective commitment to equitable access to advanced coursework. This award is anchored in research-based relationships between AP Exams and college outcomes, which include the following:
  • College Culture: 40% or more graduating cohort took at least 1 AP Exam
  • College Credit: 25% or more of the graduating cohort scored a 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam, Marshall Fundamental matched this. As 100% of the Class of 2023 Exam Takers scored 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam taken.
  • College Optimization: 2% or more of the graduating cohort took 5 or more AP exams during high school. At least one of those exams was taken in 9th or 10th grades so that students are spreading their AP experience across grades rather than disproportionate pressure in any single year.
