Sewickley Academy had 95% of 2024 seniors who took at least one AP Exam during high school, 87% who scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 31% who took five or more AP Exams — earning it platinum distinction on the College Board’s 2024 Advanced Placement Program School Honor Roll.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn the recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.

There are currently 25 AP courses in rotation at the Academy’s Senior School, with 21 sections taught by 15 faculty members this year.

“I am honored to work with so many dedicated, passionate and accomplished faculty in the Senior School who inspire our students to think and grow every day. And for our building to be filled with students who value learning, challenge themselves academically, yet are also genuinely good people, is a privilege,” said Head of Senior School Jamie Nestor.

“AP gives students an opportunity to engage with college-level work, to earn college credit and placement, and to potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, Head of the AP Program for College Board. “The schools that have earned this distinction are proof that it is possible to expand access to these college-level courses and still drive strong performance – they represent the best of AP.”
