Northwest Early College High School named a Platinum School on the 2024 AP Honor Roll

Northwest Early College High School has hit platinum status. 

 

The College Board recognized Northwest as one of a handful of schools to be named a Platinum School on its prestigious AP Honor Roll for 2024. 

 

“This recognition reflects the dedication of NWECHS faculty, staff and students  to academic achievement, as well as Canutillo ISD’s emphasis on creating pathways to higher education,” Principal Frank Clark said. “The AP Honor Roll distinction is especially significant in our mission to empower students and equip them with the tools needed for future success in both higher education and their careers.”

 

This honor highlights the school's commitment to excellence in advanced academic programs, particularly through its success in expanding access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses while maintaining or improving performance on AP exams.

 

Being named a Platinum School places NWECHS among the top schools in the nation for its efforts to offer rigorous coursework that prepares students for college-level challenges. To reach the platinum level, 80 percent or more of the 2024 graduating cohort took at least one AP exam during high school while 50 percent scored a three or higher on at least one AP exam during high school.

 

This latest distinction strengthens Northwest’s reputation as a leading institution in providing students with opportunities to excel in advanced academic settings, contributing to the academic advancement of the El Paso community and beyond.

We’ve been delivering excellence in education to millions of students across the country since 1955.
