Niceville, Fort Walton Beach High Schools named to AP Honor Roll

Two Okaloosa County high schools have been named to the College Board AP School Honor Roll, showcasing strong student performance and broad participation in Advanced Placement coursework.

Niceville High School and Fort Walton Beach High School have earned spots on the 2024 College Board AP School Honor Roll, receiving Silver distinctions for their Advanced Placement programs.

  • The schools met several key benchmarks, including having at least 40% of graduating students take an AP exam during high school and 25% scoring 3 or higher on at least one exam.

“We congratulate the students and staff of Niceville High School and Fort Walton Beach High School for this remarkable accomplishment,” said Superintendent Marcus Chambers. “Their hard work has not only earned this recognition but also set a high standard for academic excellence within our district.”

To qualify for the honor roll, schools must also demonstrate that at least 2% of their graduating class took five or more AP exams, with one exam completed in either ninth or tenth grade.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools at four levels – Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum – based on their success in creating college-going cultures and providing pathways for students to earn college credit.

Both schools achieved the Silver level distinction, reflecting their achievements in expanding access to college-level coursework while maintaining high academic standards.

The recognition comes from the College Board’s assessment of data from the schools’ most recent graduating classes.
