We are proud to share Bowling Green High School’s Advanced Placement results for the 2024-2025 school year! Our students excelled in these challenging classes, taking 718 AP College Board exams with a 74% pass rate, and earning 1,886 college credit hours. These results reflect the hard work and dedication of our students and teachers!
In BGISD, we are committed to providing opportunities for students, preparing them to meet individual goals for their future. Both Advanced Placement and Dual Credit Courses expose students to college-level work and can significantly reduce costs and time required to complete a college degree.
