Summit Public Schools Celebrates Students Who Earned a Rare “Perfect” Score on an Advanced Placement Exam

Summit Public Schools celebrates high school students Emma Gumny, Dean Mauriello, and Nikita Shevyakov, as well as Summit High School graduates Lydia Boubendir and William Johnson for each earning a perfect score on a college-level Advanced Placement® (AP®) Exam in the spring of 2023.

The current and former Summit students were five out of 459 students in the world to earn every point possible on the AP Computer Science Principles Exam.

“We are very proud of our students’ outstanding achievements, as they have not only surpassed expectations, but have also set a remarkable standard for excellence,” said Scott Hough, Superintendent of Summit Public Schools. “Their perfect scores on the Computer Science Principles AP exam are a testament to their dedication, hard work, and the exceptional guidance provided by our educators.”

“AP courses and exams are college-level, requiring great focus and persistence among participating students,” said Trevor Packer, head of the Advanced Placement Program. “We applaud the educators who encourage students to challenge themselves, who motivate and encourage diverse students to achieve their academic potential.”

The Advanced Placement Program is committed to ensuring that students have access to the opportunities they have earned. Students who succeed in AP are not only more likely to succeed in college, but have the chance to save a significant amount of time and money by earning college credit or placement.  Colleges and universities around the world receive AP scores for college credit, advanced placement, and/or consideration in the admission process.
