MPCS Students Achieve AP Gold Honor Roll For the Third Year

MPCS was named to the 2025 AP School Gold Honor Roll, which recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results and broadening access for students. Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on their ability to increase their school’s college-going culture, to provide opportunities for students to earn college credit, and by maximizing college readiness.

The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Mount Paran Christian School stats that contributed to this honor are:

• 21 AP exam offered
• 193 students took AP exams
• 415 AP exams administered
• 91% scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP exam
• 81 students were named AP Scholars
• 17 earned AP Scholar with Honor
• 37 reached AP Scholar with Distinction status
• 27 became National AP Scholars, having scored a 4 or better on all 8 or more all exams
• 11 subjects at MPCS had 100 percent pass rates: AP Physics, AP Macroeconomics, AP Drawing, AP 3D Art, AP Language, AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, AP Spanish Language, AP US History, AP 2D Art, and AP Human Geography.

MPCS reached platinum level in 2 of 3 requirements from the College Board with our high school far exceeding the college credit and optimization scores required. This is the third consecutive year achieving this honor since inception three years ago.

Additionally, MPCS was given the AP Access Award for providing all students the opportunity to participate in AP, including students of underrepresented populations.

Research shows that students who take AP courses and exams are more likely to attend college and graduate on time. The students who enter four-year colleges with AP credits accelerate their path to graduation and build confidence for college success. Their performance exempts them from having to take repeat college credits, giving them a big head start as they begin their post-secondary education. And, even for those who don’t earn college credit, AP coursework provides early exposure to college-level work and contributes to a college-going school culture.
