As if there was any doubt about the quality of Carmel Unified..

The district was named on the College Board’s 2^nd Annual AP District Honor Roll for making significant strides on AP classes.

Fewer than 400 districts in the nation earn this distinction, and only 18 in California got it -- including Carmel. Being named on this Honor Roll means that Carmel high has increased access to Advanced Placement classes while maintaining or increasing the percentage of students scoring 3 or higher in AP exams.

Since 2009, Carmel Unified School District increased the number of students participating in AP from 260 to 301, while increasing the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher by one percentage point. A score of 3 or above in an AP exam could get students college credit or advance placement.

Not surprisingly, administrators are happy about the honor.

“We are pleased to be recognized by the College Board for this accomplishment. It is the result of a conscious, concerted effort by the district to increase all students’ access to rigorous courses and to promote a positive, college-going culture in Carmel Unified,” CUSD Superintendent Marvin Biasotti said.
