Sayre Named to Advanced Placement School Honor Roll

Sayre School was named to the 2025 Advanced Placement (AP) School Honor Roll! The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results and broadening participation for students.

Schools can earn Honor Roll recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing their school’s college-going culture, providing students with opportunities to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.  For the third year, Sayre has been a Platinum member of the Honor Roll.

Sayre had 85% of seniors who took at least one AP Exam during high school, 82% who scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 10% who took five or more AP Exams!

AP at Sayre:

• 21 AP Classes
• 83% overall Pass Rate
• 63% of students scored a 4 or 5

“I’m incredibly proud of our students and faculty,” said Head of Upper School Dr. Clint Calzini. “This year’s AP results reflect the deep content knowledge of our teachers and the dedication they bring to supporting students every step of the way. Our students rose to the challenge and invested the time and effort required to succeed on these national exams.”

A hallmark of Sayre’s AP program is that all students enrolled in an AP course are required to take the corresponding AP Exam to receive credit on their transcript—underscoring the academic challenge and accountability that set Sayre apart.

College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Taking AP courses demonstrates to college admissions officers that students have sought the most challenging curriculum available to them, and research indicates that students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than non-AP students.
