At our high school, the teachers take great personal pride in the scores. Our school is ranked very high in our district for AP scores – which are reported by schools to the district. Within the school, the teachers take pride within their departments about scores. At Back to School Night, son’s AP World History had his pass rate up on the board – about 30 percent higher than the national pass rate. The students agree to take the test when they sign on for the course, the teachers do their best to prepare them and the results show that combined effort. I do think it’s important for students to take the exam because it is the best feedback of how well a teacher is teaching the course.
