Bloomfield Earns Spot on AP District Honor Roll

District joins 539 in the nation to receive top honors for increasing AP course work and the percentage of students receiving a score of 3 or higher

Bloomfield school district was one of 34 in New Jersey to earn a spot on College Board's third annual AP District Honor Roll, it was announced earlier this week.

The district was one of 539 in the nation to receive the honor roll status by "increasing access to Advanced Placement course work while increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP exams," according to the College Board website.

"Achieving both of these goals is the ideal scenario for a district’s AP program because it indicates that the district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit most from rigorous AP course work," the press release read.
