Accomplishments

AP Scholars

Nine of our graduates received AP Scholar Awards, which are granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams. An additional two students qualified as AP Scholars with Honor (granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams), while an additional eight qualified as AP Scholars with Distinction (granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams).

National Merit Scholars

The National Merit Scholarship Program is a United States academic scholarship competition administered by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). To be eligible for National Merit scholarships, a student must take the PSAT/NMSQT in October of his or her junior year. The highest-achieving students are designated as National Merit Scholars, while Finalists and Semifinalists are given recognition for their academic and extracurricular achievements.

Of more than 1.6 million students who sat for the PSAT in 2021, only 34,000 received the honor of being named National Merit Commended.

Seven of our graduates qualified for Commended, placing in the top 2% of students who sat for the PSAT, while one qualified as a Finalist.

Thirteen-Year Recognition

Five of our graduates qualified as thirteen-year students, meaning they and their families have partnered with the FCS community for all of compulsory education (K-12).
