“During the 2022-23 school year, 70 Saltus students took a total of 164 AP exams; 71 percent of the students who took an exam scored a 3 or higher, with 5 being the highest possible score. A score of 3 is the standard acceptance level as a subject credit in North American universities.
“There were 17 Saltus students were recognised by the College Board for outstanding results:

These must include an AP English exam; an AP world language exam; an AP offering a global perspective; an exam from either the sciences or math and computer science curriculum; and at least one additional exam.
