Oldenburg, Ind. — Oldenburg Academy has been named the winner of the 2016 Indiana Advanced Placement Award by the Indiana Department of Education. The award was presented to the academy staff at a statehouse ceremony on June 14. To qualify for the award schools must have at least 25 percent of their 2016 graduating class test 3 or above on an AP exam.

AP is backed by research and helps students complete college-level courses in a high school setting. Students who participate in the program are more likely to enroll in college.

At Oldenburg Academy 55.8 percent of 2016 graduates tested at 3 or higher.
