2,095 MISD students from Midland High, Legacy High, Midland Freshman, Legacy Freshman, Early College HS, and Young Women’s Leadership Academy took a total of 3,619 AP exams across 28 courses.

The district said that represents an increase of 17% of participating students and 27% of total exams taken from 2023. Of those exams taken, 36% earned scores of three, four, or five, surpassing the district’s goal of 35% and marking an improvement from last year’s 29%.
