West Side student Jacob Smock earned a score of 5 on the AP English Language & Composition exam, with 5 being the highest score possible. Only 9 percent of AP students taking the test in 2024 were able to attain that perfect score, making this a great achievement for Jacob and West Side. Fellow ascending senior Stevi Oplinger scored a 3, a mark good enough to earn college credit. Excellent work, Jacob and Stevi!
