<p>I have to admit when I first read this bit of hyperbole I was a bit skeptical, (Oh no, another ranking by collegeboard… ) but after reading the entire article I was very impressed with this class. Especially, how the teachers developed the class from scratch with no art history background, how the class is open to all students in the school, and how all the students who take the class get 3 or better on the AP exam. Great model! The article that I read in the local paper is not available online, but I did find this one: </p>

<p>** Montgomery High School Advanced Placement program rated the best of any worldwide. **</p>

<p>MONTGOMERY — Enter room B-212.
Upon leaving this room, encrusted with posters displaying works by Botticelli, Warhol and Van Gogh, you could give a tour of the Louvre.
And in the room, Montgomery High School Advanced Placement art history teachers Larry Krieger and Frank Chmiel have two objectives for their students — to enjoy the subject matter and to learn.</p>

<p>That is incredible! My daughter is doing AP Art History as an Independent Study with a teacher who is trying to develop a course for future use. I will send the article to my D and her teacher.</p>
