CHS scores well on first AP exams

Janet Feiler at the Coeur d'Alene School District's central office sent us this report this morning:

Coeur d'Alene High School students performed well on the Advanced Placement exams given at the school this year, the first since CHS began offering AP courses again.

Of the 166 total exams administered, 19% of CHS students scored a perfect score of 5 out of 5, while 41% scored a 4 or higher. Eight students scored perfectly on the AP English Language exam. There were seven perfect scores on the AP Chemistry exam and 5 on the AP U.S. Government and Politics exam.

There are 111 CHS students in the Advanced Placement program.

Coeur d’Alene High School is focusing on the AP program while phasing out the International Baccalaureate program. IB continues to be offered at Lake City High School.

“The decision to have each comprehensive high school take on a particular and different focus seems to be working,” said Superintendent Hazel Bauman. “I am extremely pleased with the students’ success in this first year of AP at CHS and commend the faculty for their hard work.”
