Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 30, 2017 -- Apex Learning, known for digital curriculum that makes rigorous, standards-based content accessible to all students, continues the trend of outpacing national scores on the College Board AP exams. Last spring, 65 percent of students taking Apex Learning AP courses scored a 3 or higher on Advanced Placement (AP) exams, five percentage points higher than the national average of 60 percent for the same exams. Each year, Apex Learning students continue to outperform the national average.
"The results on the College Board exams demonstrate the efficacy of our AP courses,” said Cheryl Vedoe, CEO of Apex Learning. “When using our online courses, districts can have confidence knowing their students are well-prepared for the AP exams and college level coursework.”
