Strong Academic Performance in School Year 2014-2015

Before we begin the next awesome school year at Mil-wigs, we thought it appropriate to glance briefly in the rear view mirror.  Now that all of the scores are in from school year 2014-2015, we are proud to report that (as expected) our students produced a strong academic performance in school year 2014-2015.  As also expected, this was accomplished at a time when our student body is larger and more diverse than at any other time in our history.

1. AP Assessment:  more students tested than ever before…matched second highest overall mean score in school history (4.3).
   1. Highest or matched highest scores ever in European History, German Language, Human Geography, Macro and Micro Economics, Psychology, and Spanish Language.
   2. Scores of 3 or higher remain above 98%.
   3. Percent of students who earned status as AP Scholars matched the highest level in school history.
2. SOL Assessment:
   1. Mean advanced pass percentage reached highest level ever.
3. National Merit
   1. Commendations match the second highest in school history.
   2. Semi-Finalists are the second highest in school history.
   3. Finalists are the second highest in school history.
   4. Percent of students who earned status as National Merit Scholar reached the highest level in school history.
4. Scholarship Dollars reached an all-time high at 18.9 million for a class size of 174 (2015).

We will build on these results in the coming years by focusing on the goals in our approved strategic plan.
