Foxcroft School Sets New Record of 30 AP Scholars

9/20/16 — Foxcroft School student Patia Fann attained the status of National Scholar for her outstanding achievement on the 2016 Advanced Placement (AP) Exams. To become a National Scholar, a student must earn an average grade of at least 4 (out of 5) on all AP Exams taken and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of the tests. Fann received perfect 5s on all ten exams she took, becoming Foxcroft’s fourth National Scholar and the first one in nearly a decade. Fann’s achievements led a record-setting 30 Foxcroft students earning 2016 AP Scholar Awards from the College Board for outstanding achievement on Advanced Placement Exams.

Worldwide, only about 22% of the 2.2 million students who took AP Exams performed well enough to earn AP Scholar designation. At Foxcroft, 40% of the most recent graduating class were recognized as AP Scholar award-winners. The number of Foxcroft AP Scholars reached double digits for the 13th consecutive year— an impressive feat for such a small school.
