Beaver Dam High School was recently awarded the silver nomination by U .S. News and World Report as one of the best high schools in the nation, placing it in the top 10 percent of schools at the state and national level.
BDHS had 197 students participate in 342 Advanced Placement courses and exams in 2015, with a pass rate of 80 percent. This pass rate is substantially above both state and national benchmarks and a 14 percent increase from 2014.
“We are very proud of our immediate and extended school community for the academic growth we have seen in the past few years,” said Mark DiStefano, BDHS principal.
