Advance Placement Program Students Test Scores

Fort Frances High School enrolled in an advanced placement program scored high in recent testing.

The program provides students with an curriculum to help students achieve advanced standing in college or university courses.

Teacher Cathy Bruyere says local results were better than both national and international rates.

"Our students fared very well," says Bruyere, "compared to the national average which was 75.6 per cent of students achieved a level three or better. Our students achieved 83 per cent. On the global average only 74 per cent of students achieved the same result so I think our students did very well."

More than 300,000 students across the world wrote the mandatory test last spring.
