Four Current Students In The Osceola School District Earn Rare “Perfect” Scores on Advanced Placement Exam

The following four students in the Osceola School District have earned rare “perfect” scores on their college-level Advanced Placement® (AP®) Spanish Language and Culture Exam taken in May 2023:

- Matias Edwards - Celebration High School
- Emanuel Romero - Osceola High School

 - Renata Ceron Angelucci - Professional and Technical High School (PATHS)
 - Maria Rodriguez - Osceola County School for the Arts

Edwards and Romero are two of only 247 students in the world to earn every point possible on the AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam.

“We are extremely proud of Matias and Emanuel Renata, and Maria. To not only earn a top score of a 5 but to earn every possible point on the AP Exam is an amazing accomplishment,” said Dr. Mark Shanoff, Superintendent of the Osceola School District. “This honor is not only a credit to Matias and Emanuel but also to their teachers at Celebration and Osceola High, PATHS, and Osceola County School for the Arts for preparing them for such success.”

“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.”

Students who earn passing scores on AP exams 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.
