The Orange County Register recently published an article about the district’s strong Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exam scores from the 2021-2022 school year.

A number of records were set at the four comprehensive high schools in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District, both district-wide and at individual campuses, on the Advanced Placement examinations most recently administered.

Records also were set on the International Baccalaureate examinations administered at Valencia High School, with a new high of 80 seniors awarded the prestigious IB diploma.

The district’s overall pass rate on the two- and three-hour Advanced Placement tests increased more than 7% over the already-high pass rate achieved in 2021.

Passing scores – three or higher on a five-point scale for AP and four or higher on a seven-point scale for IB – can earn university credits and allow students to bypass introductory courses. Decisions on credits and class placements are made by individual universities.
