This recognition celebrates schools with outstanding AP programs that broaden access to AP coursework while achieving exemplary results for students.
Schools can earn this annual recognition by meeting specific criteria that promote college preparedness. As part of its commitment to academic excellence and college readiness, The Salisbury School has achieved significant milestones that contributed to its Platinum distinction.
