Brookfield Central Grad Named 2011 State AP Scholar

Update (Nov. 9): BrookfieldNOW.com posted a larger feature story on Soble today.

Published Oct. 20: Rachel Soble, who graduated in June from Brookfield Central High School, was selected as a 2011 State AP Scholar for her AP exam results last year.

Soble was one of two students in Wisconsin and 117 in nation to receive the honor. The other Wisconsin student recognized was Nick Jensen, a graduate of LaFollette High School in Madison.

“Students who receive this award have pursued a rigorous course of study to take advantage of their high school education and prepare for postsecondary studies,” State Superintendent Tony Evers said in a news release.

“Along with their dedicated effort, the support Rachel and Nick received from their parents and teachers contributed to their success,” Evers said.

The AP program choses one male and one female student from each state and the District of Columbia. The top students chosen have grades of three or higher on the greatest number of AP exams and the highest average score (at least 3.5) on all AP exams they took.

Students take college-level courses while in high school and receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the end-of-course AP exams.
