College Board recently announced that Martin High School has been named to the 2025 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening participation. Schools can earn this 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.
“This is a wonderful achievement for our staff and our students,” said Martin High School principal Marlene Roddy. “We are proud of our AP program that is helping our students earn college credit while they are in high school.”
To qualify for the AP School Honor Roll, schools must demonstrate:
- College Culture: At least 40% of the graduating class took one or more AP Exams.
- College Credit: At least 25% of the graduating class earned a score of 3 or higher on an AP Exam.
- College Optimization: At least 2% of the graduating class took five or more AP Exams, including one in ninth or 10th grade.
Martin earned silver status in the college credit and college culture categories and reached the platinum level in college optimization.
“The work that the Advanced Placement teachers, admin, counselors, and support staff are doing at Martin High School is truly amazing,” said T.J. Jarchow, Arlington ISD executive director of high schools. “Their focus on the student experience is leading to increased college readiness and college credit for our young men and women. I am very proud of their work and look forward to even bigger things to come in the future.”
While Martin was the only high school on the honor roll, all Arlington ISD high schools met the honor roll threshold in two of the three categories, reflecting the district’s strong AP offerings and participation.
