Malverne HS Recognized for Academic Excellence by College Board

Malverne High School is proud to have been recognized with a prestigious award for academic excellence by the College Board’s Advanced Placement Program. The school was named to the 2025 AP School Honor Roll, earning a Silver distinction.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering strong results for students while expanding access to rigorous, college-level coursework. The honor reflects a school’s commitment to building a college-going culture, increasing opportunities to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.
Only 11% of eligible schools earned a distinction level on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll. To qualify, schools must have at least 50% of graduating seniors enrolled in an AP course, with a minimum of 30% of those students earning a score of three or higher on an AP exam and 5% or more taking five or more AP exams, with at least one taken in ninth or 10th grade.
At Malverne High School, 57% of the Class of 2025 completed at least one AP course, with 46% of those students earning a score of three or higher on an exam during high school. These results highlight Malverne’s strong culture of academic rigor, exceeding both state and global averages.
Research from the College Board shows that students who participate in AP courses are more likely to attend college and graduate on time, with those earning college credit accelerating their path to degree completion and building confidence for future academic success.
"We are incredibly proud of our students for rising to the challenge of rigorous, college-level coursework and achieving such strong results," said Principal Dr. Kesha Bascombe. "This recognition also reflects the dedication of our teachers across all grade levels and subject areas, whose commitment to preparing, supporting and inspiring students every day makes achievements like this possible."
