• Level 1: Percent taking exams is greater than 30 percent (school's population) and percent of scores 3 or above is greater than 70 percent.

• Level 3: Percent taking exams is greater than 10 percent (school's population) and percent of scores 3 or above is greater than 60 percent.
The impetus of this recognition is to recognize access and excellence regarding Advanced Placement, the school said in a press release. Pacesetter schools have provided impressive student access to AP courses and posted excellent AP exam results.
The Pacesetter Award is unique to Wisconsin and emerged from WAPAC members who felt that many outstanding school districts in our state lacked recognition for AP excellence. In particular, WAPAC was interested in highlighting districts that are seldom recognized for their excellence in AP, the release states.
The data for the WAPAC award is available at wisedash.dpi.wi.gov/Dashboard/portalHome.jsp. WAPAC's goal is to focus on increasing participation by recognizing Pacesetters or leaders in AP to encourage other districts to promote both access and excellence. WAPAC is proud to announce this year's Pacesetter Award schools at Level 1 increased by seven schools from the previous inaugural announcement.
This Pacesetter Award celebrates success of individual schools and is not a competition or comparison between schools. For this reason no data comparing schools has not been released.
The Wisconsin Advanced Placement Advisory Council is comprised of Wisconsin secondary and collegiate educators who are dedicated to expanding access to AP coursework and rigorous learning for all college bound students.
