MILFORD -- Twenty five students at Jonathan Law High School have been named Advanced Placement Scholars by The College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement in the college-level AP exams. Only about eighteen percent of the more than 1.9 million students worldwide who took the AP exams in May 2011 performed at a sufficiently high level to merit such recognition.
Students take AP exams in May after completing challenging college-level courses at their high schools. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on student performance on AP exams.
Four students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. These students are Raymond Arnold, Emily Bak, David Griffin and Marilyn Rideout.
Seven students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. These students are Bhaswati Chattopadhyay, Andrew Fowler, Daniel Gregorio, Robert Lockwood, Megan Morris, Shelja Patel and Matthew Walker.
Fourteen students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP exams with a grade of 3 or higher. The AP Scholars are Olivia Anderson, Elizabeth Bradford, Alexis Christy, Anthony Ciacci, Ryan Clark, Alyssa Davanzo, Lucas Favazza, Jiries Hanania, James Maccone, Nicole Mair, Courtney Murray, Matthew Ouellette, Matthew Telker and Jesse Viscardi.
