Academics
At Donovan Catholic School, we believe in shaping not only scholars but well-rounded individuals prepared for the challenges of college and beyond. Our rigorous academic program pushes students to excel, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a passion for lifelong learning. Education here goes beyond the classroom. We cultivate a community grounded in faith, where strong moral values and principles are lived out daily. In our safe and supportive environment, students grow spiritually, socially, and academically, developing the tools they need to thrive in all areas of life.
What It Takes to Be Platinum
The AP School Honor Roll, launched by the College Board in 2023, recognizes schools that not only offer rigorous coursework but also ensure students succeed in it.
To reach the Platinum level, schools must demonstrate strong outcomes across three key benchmarks:
-
College Culture: A significant percentage of students take AP courses
-
College Credit: A high percentage of students earn scores of 3 or higher (qualifying for college credit)
-
College Optimization: Students take multiple AP courses across their high school career, including early participation
Meeting these standards requires both broad access and high performance, a combination that only a small percentage of schools nationwide achieve.
