Montgomery ISD Campuses Named to Advanced Placement Program School Honor Roll

Montgomery and Lake Creek High Schools recognized for student success

College Board has announced that both Montgomery ISD high schools have been named to the Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll for 2024. 

Montgomery High School earned a bronze distinction, with 43% of students taking at least one AP Exam during high school, 26% of students scoring a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 10% of students who took five or more AP Exams. Additionally, Montgomery High School earned the AP Access Award which honors schools that encourage underrepresented minority students to take AP courses.  The AP Access Award demonstrates a clear and effective commitment to ensuring AP coursework is equally available to all students.   

Lake Creek High School earned a silver distinction, with 50% of students taking at least one AP Exam during high school, 36% of students earning college credit by scoring a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 17% of students who took five or more AP Exams.

“We are so proud of our students who take advantage of AP course offerings in Montgomery ISD and for putting in the work to succeed in this impactful program,” Superintendent Dr. Mark Ruffin said.  “Having both of our high schools named to the College Board’s AP School Honor Roll acknowledges the outstanding work by our AP kids and the educators who encourage students to participate in our AP programs and support them on their pathway beyond MISD and into college.”

Research shows students who take AP courses and exams are more likely to attend college and graduate on time. And even for those who don’t earn college credit, advanced coursework provides early exposure to college-level work and contributes to a college-going school culture.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to providing opportunities for students to earn college credit and maximizing college readiness.
