AHS in the News
Yesterday the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education issued a press release commending AHS. Below is an excerpt from that release:
Earlier today at the State House, the College Board gave AP Access Awards to 26 Massachusetts high schools and recognized Massachusetts’ statewide efforts to expand AP access. Of the schools recognized, the following had at least a 30 percent increase over five years of Black/African American and/or Latino/Hispanic test takers (combined as a group) and a similar increase in low-income test-takers:
Attleboro High School
B.M.C. Durfee High School in Fall River
John D. O'Bryant School of Math and Science in Boston
Lawrence High School
Lynn Classical High School
Worcester Technical High School
“Congratulations to the schools honored today and to the students and educators who worked so hard in these courses,” said Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Jeffrey C. Riley. “Today’s results show us that many students, when offered the opportunity, can be successful in AP classes. I hope to see more students take advantage of this and similar opportunities in the future.”
We are happy to receive this award, but we also recognize that there is still work to be done and we are committed to continue this important work.
