Cooper School in The Woodlands eligible for AP award
The John Cooper School is one of a very select group of schools in Texas that has been invited to apply for the Siemens Advanced Placement High School Award.
In a letter from the College Board inviting Cooper to apply for the award, Cooper is named as having one of the strongest math and science AP programs in the state, according to the College Board's Advanced Placement Report to the Nation.
Selection for the award is based on Cooper's participation and performance in Advanced Placement courses in math, science and technology. Approximately 10 to 15 schools per state have been invited to apply for the award.
Cooper students last year earned the highest pass rate in the history of the school by earning scores of 3, 4 or 5 (out of 5) on the Advanced Placement exams. AP scores last year were 97 percent for all AP tests, and 95 percent in math, science and technology, which are the categories that qualified Cooper for the Siemens Award.
The average SAT scores from Cooper's last two graduating classes are 660 in critical reading, 660 in math and 652 in writing, based on an 800 scale.
The Siemens Foundation, in partnership with the College Board, rewards exceptional achievement in AP, recognizing students, teachers and high schools. The Siemens AP High School Award, now in its ninth year, is given out annually to 50 high schools, one in each state. Winning high schools each receive a $1,000 grant to use for science and math education. Head of Upper School Joe Broccoli, who coordinates AP course selection, placement and examinations, has applied for the Siemens AP High School Award on behalf of The John Cooper School. A selection committee will review all applications and determine the winning high schools. Schools will be notified in February and winners will be announced on the Siemens Foundation website.
