Lemont High School Named To AP Honor Roll For Second Straight Year

LEMONT, IL Thanks to its students’ record-setting performance on the college-level Advanced Placement exams last spring, Lemont High School again has been cited to the 2024 AP Honor Roll, according to a release from the school.

It earned “Silver” recognition for the second straight year.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools that have done outstanding work to welcome more students into AP courses and support them on the path to college success, according to a release.

Schools are rated in the areas of “College Culture” (number of recently graduated seniors who took at least one AP exam in their careers), “College Credit” (number of recently graduated seniors who passed at least one AP exam in their careers), and “College Optimization” (percent of recent graduates who took five or more AP exams in their careers, including at least one as a freshman or sophomore).

To receive AP Honor Roll Silver recognition, schools must score at least 50 percent in “College Culture," at least 30 percent in “College Credit," and at least five percent in “College Optimization." According to LHS, Lemont improved its percentages from 2023 in all three criteria.

Its “College Credit” score (49 percent) met the criteria for the Gold designation, and its “College Optimization” score (25 percent) met the standard for Platinum recognition. Its “College Culture” score (64 percent) missed the Gold designation by just one point.
