DHS is #1 in State for AP Tests

The teachers in the Davis School District are among the best in the state and the nation.

Davis High school is No. 1 in the state for AP participation — 1,345 tests taken — and pass scores, with an 83.5 percent rate. The marks are a feather in Davis' cap, a tribute to teachers and students, principal Rulon Homer said. He also acknowledges AP "is just one piece of the big picture of what you're doing, and it accounts for one group of kids."

"School needs to be rigorous," said principal Homer, who urges sophomores at orientation to seize every opportunity they can. "We live in a day and an age where kids need a solid, solid foundation in academics to go out there and compete."
