Lake Travis ISD was one of 14 Texas school districts to receive placement on the fourth annual Advanced Placement district honor roll. The College Board honor roll recognizes districts for increasing access to AP course work while maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP exams.

"Students in school districts across Texas are tackling rigorous AP courses and succeeding," Texas Commissioner of Education Michael Williams said. "This opportunity to prepare for postsecondary success in high school pays great dividends in our education system today and for our state's economic future."

Districts are evaluated on three years of AP data such as increased participation in AP; increased percentage of exams taken by African Americans, Hispanics and American Indian students; and improved performance levels in comparative years.

"This incredible honor speaks to the efforts and dedication of our teachers and staff, which lead to opportunities for our students to engage in rigorous college-level course work," LTISD Superintendent Brad Lancaster said. "I congratulate Lake Travis High School Principal Kim Brents, her team and students for this accolade."
