College Board’s newly released Advanced Placement Scholar Roster includes 102 Bartow County School System students – the highest number ever recorded in Bartow County!
College Board’s AP program provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school. Students can earn college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP exams administered in high schools.

“Praise and congratulations go out to these students who have worked diligently throughout the years to achieve at high levels,” said Paula Camp, director of Advanced Learning, STEM, and Gifted Programs. “Our faculty, staff, parents, and community play an integral role in supporting the AP program. From about 22 AP course offerings last year to 25 this year and seven in the works, our AP program is stronger than it has ever been. Since 2017, our AP test takers and number of AP exams administered have tripled! This exponential growth is impressive and encouraging for our system!”
