Rome High School was named an AP Honor School on Friday in a press release from the Georgia Department of Education.
Rome High received honors as an AP Humanities School, AP Humanities Achievement School, AP STEM School and AP STEM Achievement School. The school is one of 301 AP honor schools in the state.
“We are incredibly proud of our AP students and teachers at Rome High School. It is because of their hard work and dedication that we are not only able to offer a wide variety of AP classes, but also see tremendous success among these courses. We are thankful for the teachers who pour into our program and encourage students to reach their greatest potential. ” Rome High Principal Parke Wilkinson said.
The 2025 AP Honor Schools are named in eight categories based on the results of 2024 AP courses and exams. AP exams are administered by the College Board. AP courses are one of several ways Georgia students can access college-level learning at the high school level. GaDOE began recognizing AP Honor Schools in 2008.
AP Humanities Schools are schools that administered at least five exams in each of the following AP categories: one ELA course, two social studies courses, one fine arts course, and one world language course, and a minimum of 25 total exams administered.
AP Humanities Achievement Schools are schools with at least 50 percent of all AP Humanities exams earning scores of three or higher.
AP STEM Schools are schools that administered at least five exams in each of four separate AP STEM courses (math, science, and computer science) and a minimum of 25 total exams administered.
AP STEM Achievement Schools are schools with at least 50 percent of all AP STEM exams earning scores of 3 or higher.
“Georgia's 2025 AP Honor Schools exemplify our commitment to providing students with rigorous, high-quality educational opportunities that prepare them for success beyond high school,” Georgia State Superintendent Richard Woods said.
“I commend these schools for their dedication to academic excellence and equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in college, careers, and life.”
