West High Recognized as a Top AP® School in Iowa
West High School has been recognized as a top ten school in Iowa by the 2007 Iowa AP Index. The 2007 Iowa AP Index is based on the number of Advanced Placement (AP®) exams taken by students in 2006 divided by the number of 2006 graduates. The Index is a ratio that helps determine the extent of AP opportunity at a school as well as an indication of how willing students are to step up to the challenge of AP exams. This is the third year the Connie Belin & Jacqueline N. Blank International Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development (Belin-Blank Center) at the University of Iowa has presented the Iowa AP Index as an indicator of Advanced Placement (AP®) opportunities for Iowa students.
