Thank you to our team of AP teachers for their consistent hard work, and the support they provide our students in excelling in the variety of AP courses we offer at RCS. Due to their efforts and our students’ achievement, RCS has once again been recognized by the College Board for developing an AP program that provides not only the opportunity for students to take, but also excel in an AP course of study. RCS earned Bronze recognition on the 2024 AP School Honor Roll. The state also recently recognized these teachers for their exceptional work. Congratulations!

At the close of the academic year (2023-2024), RCS students take state assessments on a variety of subjects in the areas of reading (ELA), math and science. They take end-of-grade (EOG) assessments in middle school and end-of-course (EOC) assessments for high school courses. The state uses statistical tools to measure academic growth. Many of our teachers received a rating of “Exceeds Growth” according to these measures, which placed them in the top 25% of teachers in the state in those measured areas in terms of growth. Congratulations to all the teachers who earned this achievement!
