For the fifth consecutive year, Darlington’s SAT scores for the Class of 2000 averaged above 1100.
Darlington’s Advanced Placement (AP) exam results from May 2000 remain strong and consistent with those taken in recent years.
Seventy-two Darlington students took 107 AP exams in 14 subject areas, with 92 exams (86 percent) earning a 3 or higher, high enough for credit or placement in most U.S. colleges and universities.
Four subject areas achieved especially high scores. In Mark Alber’s AP Chemistry class, 10 out of 10 students taking the AP exam earned a score of 3 or higher. In Steve Killian’s AP Government and Economics class, 2 out of 2 students taking the AP Macro Economics exam received 3 or higher. Nine of 9 students in David Powell’s AP English class earned 3 or higher on the AP English Literature and Composition exam. And 12 out of 12 students in Craig Schmidt’s AP European History earned scores of 3 or higher on the AP exam.
Eighteen exams, 17 percent of the total taken, received a perfect 5. Darlington offers AP courses in 15 disciplines.
