Congratulations to Ware County High School for being named to State School Superintendent Richard Woods' list of Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools. Ware County is one of 104 school districts to receive the honor for 2025.
“Georgia's 2025 AP Honor Schools exemplify our commitment to providing students with rigorous, high-quality educational opportunities that prepare them for success beyond high school,” Superintendent Woods said. “I commend these schools for their dedication to academic excellence and equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in college, careers, and life. I am delighted the number of AP Honor Schools and school districts has risen again this year – a continued testament to the commitment of Georgia public education to expand opportunities for all Georgia students.”
The 2025 AP Honor Schools are named in eight categories based on the results of 2024 AP courses and exams. Ware County High School was named to the AP Expansion Schools list, which highlights schools with 25% growth in AP student participation and a minimum of 25 students testing within the designated window.
AP exams are administered by the College Board, which also administers the SAT. AP courses are one of several ways Georgia students can access college-level learning at the high school level; students who receive a 3, 4, or 5 on an AP exam may receive college credit. GaDOE began recognizing AP Honor Schools in 2008.
