Seven Wareham High School students have been recognized by the College Board's Advanced Placement Program for their scores on advanced placement tests.

The Advanced Placement (AP) program allows students to take college-level courses while still attending high school.

Wareham High School student Tyler Russell has earned the AP Scholar with Distinction Award after obtaining an average score of 3.5 on all of the AP exams he has taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of the exams. AP exams are graded on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest.

Six Wareham students qualified for the College Board's AP Scholar Award by completing there for more AP exams with scores of 3 or higher. Those students are: Abbott Anthony, Elizabeth St. Germaine, Allyson Wade, Hope Wallace, Christopher White, and Emma Wynne.

AP exams are developed by a committee of college and university faculty and AP teachers. Most four-year colleges in the country provide credit and/or advanced placement for qualifying exam scores.
