KISD is one of only school districts nationwide to be honored by the College Board with a spot on the AP Achievement List. From 2008 to 2010 , KISD increased the number of students participating in the Advanced Placement program from to 1,934 to 2,329 while also improving the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher. The score of 3 on the AP Exam is typically what is needed to earn a college credit for the course.
“This recognition by the College Board is further proof that we are accomplishing our mission to provide students unparalleled learning experiences here in Katy ISD,” states KISD Superintendent Alton Frailey. “I am proud of the work that everyone associated with the AP program has done to not only make the AP courses available to students, but to ensure that they succeed in achieving at exceptional levels.”
The AP Achievement List is comprised of all school districts that are simultaneously expanding opportunity and improving performance. “Participation in college-level AP courses can level the playing field for underserved students, give them the confidence needed to succeed in college, and raise standards and performance in key subjects like science and math,” said College Board President Gaston Caperton. “The AP Achievement List identifies districts that are defying expectations by expanding access while enabling their students to maintain or improve their AP Exam scores.”
