High School Earns Bronze on AP School Honor Roll

North Babylon High School is proud to announce it has earned bronze recognition on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll by the College Board. This national distinction celebrates high schools that are expanding access to rigorous, college-level coursework and supporting strong outcomes for their students. 
North Babylon High School achieved all the criteria for the bronze tier, placing it among a select group of schools recognized for fostering a robust college-going culture. The recognition is based on three key metrics for the Class of 2025: 

1.    College Culture: 45% of the graduating cohort took at least one AP exam during high school, exceeding the bronze benchmark of 40%.
2.    College Credit: 33% of students scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP exam, surpassing the bronze requirement of 25%.
3.    College Optimization: 13% of students took five or more AP exams across their high school career, with at least one taken in ninth or 10th grade, which exceeds the bronze benchmark of 2%.  

“We are incredibly honored to receive this award again," said North Babylon High School Principal Dr. Jonathan Klomp. “This recognition is a direct testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers and staff who are committed to academic excellence and preparing students for future success in college and beyond.” The school has added to its course catalogue of AP and college-level courses.
