Recent results from the IBO and College Board showed Stamford American students considerably outpacing their global counterparts in the International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement exams. On this year’s IBDP exams, 98 percent of the school’s 63 students passed the exam, with an average total score of 35.2. This mirrored last year’s results, while the global average – 32 – declined one point from a year ago. Twelve students scored a 40 or above and two students scored a 44. The maximum score on the test is 45. The average subject area score was 5.6 – well above the global average – and more than half of Stamford students scored 6 or higher on a scale of 1 to 7.
