I have just received the scores for this year. I am proud of you all.

Remember that even if you did not get the score that you desired, you have still learned more than the average student. Think about the skills and knowledge you gained. Did you get a 5, probably not. However, what is most important to me is not your score but benefitted from the class.

If you have gone on to AP US History here is my advice:

       Happy with you score: Keep up the good work. What you did during the year paid off.

       Not happy with score: Try to establish what you did that led to a low score. Did you study over time or cram?      Did you decide at the beginning of the year to excel or was it 3/4 of the way throught the year? If you would like to discuss you score come on by my room!

 

Once again CONGRATS! This year had the HIGHEST PASS RATE EVER! The pass rate was 75.6% and the overall class average was 3.136.

Seeing scores like this make me proud of you all!
