Two Marshfield High Students Are Wisconsin's AP Scholars

Joanna Pliner:

The students with the highest Advanced Placement exam scores in Wisconsin are both graduates of Marshfield High School.

Noah Elmhorst and Jamie Robertson, Wisconsin 's 2007 Advanced Placement state scholars, were to be recognized at a ceremony at the school, Assistant Principal Elizabeth Dostal said last week.

"We have had past AP State Scholars, but we have never had the top male and the top female in the same year, " Dostal said. "We were just pleasantly surprised. "

Marshfield High has 1,385 students and offers 23 AP classes, Dostal said. Elmhorst took 17 of the advanced classes, while Robertson took 13, she said.

Statewide, 25,020 Wisconsin students took 39,811 AP exams in the 2006-2007 school year. More than 68 percent of those students earned a grade of three or higher.

Nationwide, more than 1.4 million high school students took more than 2.5 million AP exams in 2007.
