Batavia High School Named to Advanced Placement School Honor Roll

Batavia, IL—The College Board announced that Batavia High School has been named to the 2025 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning Silver distinction. 

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 reflecting a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing students with opportunities to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.
 
Batavia High School had 50% of seniors who took at least one AP Exam, 39% who scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 12% who took five or more AP Exams. BHS has 19 certified staff members teaching AP-level courses.
 
When notified of this recognition, Bob Dietz, Associate Principal at BHS, said, “We are honored to be named to the 2024–25 AP School Honor Roll and are extremely proud of our students and teachers for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence.”
 
“AP gives students the opportunity to engage with college-level work, earn college credit and placement, and build professional career skills they can use no matter what path they choose after high school,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “Congratulations to this year’s AP School Honor Roll recipients for proving it’s possible to expand participation in these rigorous courses and still drive strong performance.”
