State School Superintendent Richard Woods has named 316 Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools from 110 school districts for 2026. Coffee High School was honored to be named an AP Access and Support School and an AP STEM School.
AP Access and Support Schools are those with at least 30% of AP exams taken by students who identified as African American and/or Hispanic (minimum of 16 students) and 30% of all AP exams earning scores of 3 or higher. At least 25 exams must be administered. AP Stem Schools are schools that administered at least five exams in each of four separate AP STEM courses (math, science, and computer science) and a minimum of 25 total exams administered.
“Georgia’s 2026 AP Honor Schools reflect our continued commitment to providing students with rigorous, high‑quality learning opportunities that prepare them for life beyond high school,” Superintendent Woods said. “These schools demonstrate a strong dedication to academic excellence by challenging students and supporting them as they rise to meet high expectations. By expanding access to advanced coursework, they are helping ensure more Georgia students have the opportunity to graduate prepared for college, careers, and a successful future.“
AP exams are administered by the College Board, which also administers the SAT. AP courses are one of several ways Georgia students can access college-level learning at the high school level; students who receive a 3, 4, or 5 on an AP exam may receive college credit. GaDOE began recognizing AP Honor Schools in 2008.
