What’s Happening in APS
In 2016, the number of APS students who graduated continued to rise (1,351) with 68% earning an Advanced Studies or IB diploma and 93% of those responding to a survey reporting that they plan to attend college. The combined SAT scores for Arlington’s 2016 graduates continued to outpace the Virginia average by 126 points, and the national averages by 177 points. In this week’s episode, Historical Markers takes a look at the Necostin Indians. In this week’s episode, #digitalAPS features a countywide Summer Laureate program held at Arlington Traditional School this summer. Volunteers are an important asset who generously contribute their time and resources to schools. APS welcomes the community’s support; learn more about how you can get involved in volunteering with us!
