Broadwater Academy Named to Advanced Placement School Honor Roll

Exmore, Virginia – College Board announced that Broadwater Academy was named to the 2025 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning BRONZE distinction and as an AP Access Award winner.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening participation. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to enhancing college-going culture, providing additional opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness and success.

In addition, Broadwater is being further recognized with the AP Access Award which honors schools that encourage and facilitate a wider diversity of socio-economic students to take AP courses.

Broadwater had 100% of seniors who took at least one AP Exam during secondary school, a high percentage of seniors scoring a 3 or higher on at least one AP Exam, and 14% of seniors who took five or more AP Exams!

Though Broadwater is a small independent school, it offers a broad range of Advanced Placement courses. Currently, Broadwater offers eleven AP courses with six qualified instructors offering AP instruction. Also noteworthy is that Broadwater currently has two talented faculty members who have been recognized and chosen as AP exam readers in the last two years.

“We are proud of the level of academic rigor that our students pursue in their secondary school careers. Not only is the level of challenge high, but the supportive aspect of our faculty /student relationships allow for students to achieve highly while managing a balanced, teenaged life. We are proud of all their accomplishments in pursuing AP courses and examinations,” says Megan Fuller, Director of College Counseling and Student Support.

“AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, earn college credit and placement, and build professional career skills they can use no matter what path they choose after high school,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “Congratulations to this year’s AP School Honor Roll recipients for proving it’s possible to expand participation in these rigorous courses and still drive strong performance.”

Broadwater Academy is the premier learning community on the Eastern Shore of Virginia for pre-K – 12 education.With a challenging curriculum, talented instructors, and a diverse student body, Broadwater develops the next generation of respectful, civic-minded leaders and productive citizens.

College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school.

Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
