II. Advanced Placement Scores

Westchester Hebrew High School offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams to qualified students beginning in the sophomore year. AP classes are offered in Biology, Calculus, English Literature, European History, Psychology, US Government and Politics and US History. Our students’ scores far surpass the national average for each exam. AP exams are given scores of 1 to 5. Scores of 3 or higher earn advanced placement and/or credit at many universities.

Biology

In 2009, half of our students earned a top score of 5 and the entire AP Biology class scored 4 or better. This is almost triple the national average for scores of 5.

Calculus

All of our Calculus students scored 3 or higher (almost double the national average). Scores of 4 and 5 were earned by 75% of our students.

English Literature

Nationally, only 20% of students taking this exam score a 4 or 5 but at WHHS, 50% of our students earned this prestigious ranking.

European History

Over the last three years, none of our students in this course scored below 3.

Psychology

Almost 85% of our Psychology students over the last three years achieved scores of 4 or 5 in this demanding course. In 2009, our entire class had scores of 3 or better.
