Rangeview High School is home to numerous award-winning Advanced Placement students. Last year alone, the College Board named 28 Rangeview students “AP Scholars,” 11 students “AP Scholars with Honor” and nine students “AP Scholars with Distinction.” These are the top three regional honors that recognize students who scored high on multiple exams.
This year, 10 Rangeview Raiders are each taking the maximum of four AP courses and exams. This impressive feat mirrors the rigorous workload of a full-time college student!
“I’m taking four AP classes because I want to get the full benefit of the program. AP Calculus AB is my favorite because it’s the hardest math class I’ve ever taken and I like the challenge. AP classes help me better understand and analyze things academically and in life. I think more students should enroll! As long as you do things on time, it’s not that bad.” - Rangeview junior Onyi Ozoma
When asked about his plan for the future, Ozoma shared his aspiration to major in computer science engineering at Stanford University to become a programmer and entrepreneur.

Thanks to the APS 2020: Shaping the Future strategic plan, Aurora Public Schools students have a clear vision of how to attain success: create a plan, learn applicable skills and earn credentials that will open doors. Fortunately, those doors may start flying open for APS students earning credentials in the AP program.
AP offers high school students an exciting opportunity to engage in college-level curricula and examinations. To conclude each course, students take an AP exam. Students who score high enough may earn college credits, scholarships and acceptance into colleges and universities nationwide.
