A Top 50 School
June 25, 2008
Northwood-Kensett High School again ranks among the top 50 schools in the state on the 2008 Iowa Advanced Placement Index.
The Iowa AP Index recognizes Iowa schools for providing AP opportunities and recognizes students for their willingness to step up to an academic challenge. Also, the Index provides a fair comparison of AP opportunity across school size. A high AP Index means that a school is offering AP courses, and the school has developed a culture whereby students are encouraged to take AP courses and exams
The top 50 schools range in graduating class size from 26 to 558. There are 43 public and 7 private schools in the top 50.
