Babylon Junior-Senior High School has earned the Platinum distinction on the College Board's 2025 AP School Honor Roll, the program's highest level of recognition. This achievement marks the school's continuous improvement, having earned Silver when the Honor Roll was introduced in 2023, followed by Gold in 2024, and now Platinum.

To achieve Platinum distinction, a school must demonstrate that at least 80 percent of its graduating class has taken at least one AP Exam during high school, reflecting a strong college culture. At least 50 percent of the graduating class must score a 3 or higher on at least one exam, showing they are earning potential college credit. Additionally, at least 15 percent of the graduating class must take five or more AP Exams, with at least one of those exams taken in 9th or 10th grade, encouraging early engagement with college-level coursework. The Platinum distinction is a rare honor; for the 2023-2024 school year, only about seven percent of eligible schools across the United States and Canada reached this top-tier status.

"For a school our size to achieve Platinum distinction is a great achievement," said Principal Al Cirone. "It speaks to the dedication of not only our students, but also our educators, and the culture of academic excellence we have built together.”
