AP Test Scores Highest in Oxford High School History

Oxford High School students increased scores on the national Advanced Placement exams in 2022 with 73% of students scoring a 3 or higher, possibly the highest percentage in school history.

In the spring of 2022, Oxford High administered 408 AP exams to 230 students. 

The Oxford School District offers a robust selection of 18 Advanced Placement course options at Oxford High School, among the highest in Mississippi.

Students take national AP exams in the spring semester of the course year. AP Exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Many U.S. colleges grant credit and/or advanced placement (that means they let you skip the equivalent course once you get to college) for scores of 3 and above.
