Two Valencia Students Among Small Group of Students in the World to Earn Perfect Score on AP Exams

Valencia High School is excited to celebrate students Hector Aguirre and Baizhou Liu for earning a perfect score on a college-level Advanced Placement (AP) Exam in spring 2023. Hector was one of only 91 students in the world to earn every point possible on the AP Computer Science A Exam while Baizhou was one of 459 students to earn a perfect score on the AP Computer Science Principles Exam. Credit is also due to their teachers Jason Parker and Veronica Vandeventer.

“AP courses and exams are college-level, requiring great focus and persistence among participating students,” said Trevor Packer, head of the Advanced Placement Program. “We applaud the educators who encourage students to challenge themselves, who motivate and encourage diverse students to achieve their academic potential.”

The Advanced Placement Program is committed to ensuring that students have access to the opportunities they have earned. Students who succeed in AP are not only more likely to succeed in college, but have the chance to save a significant amount of time and money by earning college credit or placement.

Colleges and universities around the world receive AP scores for college credit, advanced placement, and/or consideration in the admission process. To learn more about AP, please visit exploreap.org.
