Dripping Springs High School has earned Silver recognition on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll, marking the campus’s second consecutive year receiving the honor.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools that expand access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses while supporting students in achieving college readiness and success. Research shows that students who take AP courses and exams are more likely to attend college and graduate on time. Students who enter four-year colleges with credit from AP exams accelerate their path to graduation and build confidence for college success.
Dripping Springs High School previously earned Bronze recognition on the 2024 AP School Honor Roll, its first time being honored since the program launched in 2023.
For a campus to be recognized on the AP School Honor Roll, they must meet the following criteria: College Culture: 40% or more of the graduating cohort took at least 1 AP Exam during high school.
College Credit: 25% or more of the graduating cohort scored a 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam during high school.
College Optimization: 2% or more of the graduating cohort took 5 or more AP Exams during high school. At least 1 of those exams was taken in 9th or 10th grade, so that students are spreading their AP experience across grades rather than feeling disproportionate pressure in any single year.
