Lynbrook High School students earn AP Scholar awards

Sixty-six students at Lynbrook High School have earned the designation of Advanced Placement Scholar from the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Program (AP) Exams. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on a student’s performance on AP Exams. Two students earned the designation of National AP Scholars, 19 were named AP Scholars with Distinction, seven were named AP Scholars with Honor, and 38 were designated as AP Scholars. Only 18 percent of the more than 1.8 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to earn an AP Scholar Award.

Chelsea Goldinger and Daniel Trotta, the valedictorian and salutatorian of the Class of 2010, qualified for the National AP Scholar Award by earning an average grade of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams. “This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our hard-working students and teachers, and to the district’s ongoing commitment to do everything possible to prepare students to excel in college and in life,” said Superintendent Dr. Santo Barbarino.
