THREE HIGH SCHOOLS RECEIVE AP HONOR ROLL RECOGNITION
Three Mansfield ISD high schools are among the 9 % of schools recognized across the country for increasing college-going culture , providing opportunities for students
to earn college credit and maximizing college readiness . The AP School Honor Roll recognition was awarded to Lake Ridge , Legacy and Mansfield High Schools .
To receive this recognition , schools must meet criteria for their most recent graduating class including :
• College Culture : 40 % or more of the graduating cohort took at least one AP Exam during high school .
• College Credit : 25 % or more of the graduating cohort scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam during high school .
• College Optimization : 2 % or more of the graduating cohort took five or more AP Exams during high school . At least one of those exams was taken in 9th or 10th grade , so that students are spreading their AP experience across grades rather than feeling disproportionate pressure in any single year .
