North is one of the top High Schools on Iowa Advanced Placement Index

For the fifth year in a row, North high School was listed among the state’s top 50 high schools on the Iowa Advanced Placement Index.

The Iowa AP Index, compiled and released by the Belin-Blank Center for Gifted Education at the University of Iowa, ranks how well Iowa high schools provide students with the opportunity to take college-level Advanced Placement courses. The rankings are based on the number of AP exams taken by students compared to the number of graduates from the spring of 2016.
