Connecticut – for the first time ever – ranks best in the nation on student performance of advanced placement (AP) exams. According to a report released by the College Board, 34.5 percent of 2020 high school graduates in Connecticut earned a score of 3 or more on an AP exam.
“Every student – no matter their family income or zip code – deserves access to an education that prepares them to lead successful careers,” Governor Lamont said. “The success we are seeing in Connecticut’s education system is credited to the amazing teachers, faculty, staff, volunteers, and parents who dedicate themselves to the next generation of students.”
