Earlier this year, the College Board recognized 548 District 196 high school students for their performance on Advanced Placement (AP) course exams that they took as juniors and seniors.

District 196 high schools combined offer more than 20 different AP courses which have been audited and approved by the College Board. Students who complete an AP course can take an optional exam and earn college credit, depending on their score on the exam and admission requirements at the college or university they attend. An AP exam score of 3 or higher (on a scale of 1 to 5) earns credit at many of the nation's colleges and universities.

There are several different levels of AP scholar recognition that are defined by the scores received and the number of exams taken during a student's high school career:

• AP Scholar is granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP exams taken;
• AP Scholar with Honor recognizes students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of the exams;
• AP Scholar with Distinction is given to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of the exams, and
• National AP Scholar recognizes students who receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP exams taken and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of the exams.

The students listed below by category of recognition were juniors and seniors at Eastview High School in the 2007-08 school year.
