Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep is proud to announce that we have earned Platinum recognition on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll, the highest level of distinction awarded by the College Board, for the third consecutive year.
Of the 15,887 eligible schools nationwide, only 7% achieved Platinum status. This recognition honors schools that are expanding access to Advanced Placement coursework while ensuring strong student outcomes.
Earning Platinum distinction reflects excellence across three key areas:
-
College Culture: Students taking and succeeding in AP courses
-
College Credit: Students earning qualifying AP exam scores
-
College Optimization: Students taking multiple AP exams to build strong college readiness
The Class of 2025 exceeded the College Board’s Platinum benchmarks across every metric, underscoring the hard work of our students, the dedication of our educators, and the strength of our broader school community.
Cristo Rey St. Martin is honored to be in excellent company among Illinois schools earning Platinum recognition, including Regina Dominican High School, Saint Ignatius College Prep, Lane Technical College Prep, Walter Payton College Preparatory High School, Whitney M. Young Magnet High School, DePaul College Prep, Fenwick High School, Jones College Preparatory, Northside College Preparatory, and other distinguished college-preparatory institutions across the state.
This achievement affirms our mission to prepare students for success in college and beyond.
May we seek “ever to excel” in all we do.
