2023 Brunswick High School AP Scholars
The AP Scholar Awards recognize high school students who have demonstrated exemplary college-level achievement on AP Exams. Brunswick High School has 33 students recognized for their achievements on the AP exams taken during their time at Brunswick High School through the end of the 2022-2023 school year.
Additionally, during the 2023 exam schedule, BHS had 121 students take a total of 176 AP exams with 78% of these students scoring a 3 or better. A 3 is considered the baseline for receiving college credit for the course and illustrates a student’s competency in that subject.
