Sacred Heart Academy has been recognized for outstanding student achievement and expanded access in the Advanced Placement (AP) program.
The College Board announced that Sacred Heart Academy has earned Platinum distinction on the 2025 Advanced Placement School Honor Roll for the second consecutive year, the highest level of recognition awarded. Fewer than 8% of schools nationwide receive this honor, placing Sacred Heart Academy among a select group of schools recognized for exceptional achievement in Advanced Placement programming. This highest recognition given by The College Board distinguishes Sacred Heart Academy as a premier Catholic preparatory school for young women.
This distinction reflects exceptional performance in three key areas. College Culture, defined as the number of graduating seniors who completed at least one AP course. College Credit, demonstrated by student success in earning AP scores of 3 or higher. College Optimization, achieved by students completing five or more AP courses during high school, with at least one taken in ninth or tenth grade.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools nationwide whose AP programs deliver measurable results while expanding access and opportunity. Schools are honored annually for their commitment to fostering a strong college going culture, increasing access to college level coursework, and preparing students for academic success beyond high school.
