Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) is one of 433 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on its 7th Annual AP® District Honor Roll.

To be included in the Honor Roll, RFH needed to, since 2014, increase the number of students participating in AP while also increasing or maintaining the percentage of students earning AP exam scores of 3 or higher.

RFH boasts a commitment to  providing students with an array of AP courses that pique intellectual curiosity and prepare students for  post-secondary studies.

“Congratulations to all the teachers and administrators in this district who have worked so tirelessly to both expand access to AP and also to help students succeed on the AP Exams,” said Trevor Packer, the College Board’s head of AP and Instruction.

In 2016, more than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world received AP scores for college credit, advanced placement, or both, and/or consideration in the admission process.

Inclusion on the 7th Annual AP District Honor Roll is based on a review of three years worth of AP data, from 2014 to 2016, and analysis of 37 AP exams, including world language and culture.

Criteria included:

The following are AP distinctions that have been earned by RFH students:

• 134 AP scholars, a 53 percent increase from 2015;
• 52 AP scholars who scored 3+ on 3 or more AP exams;
• 26 AP scholars with honors who scored 3+ on 4 or more exams, or average of 3.25;
• 48 AP scholars with distinction who scored 3+ on 5 or more exams, or an average of 3.5+ while 8 national AP scholars scored an average of 4+ on 8 or more exams.
