Can somebody provide a source for the statistics given on the AP? I know the school is unusually strong, but the best in the world is a big claim to not document. Also, does the average student really take ten AP exams? When I went there a decade ago, certainly some did, but it wasn't the average student.Rigadoun 17:53, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

I go to the school now and the average ap's each student takes are Chemistry, U.S. History, Physics or Biology, a Language, Calculus A B C, Government, European History or Comparative Politics, and an elective class such as Art History or Studio Art or Economics. This is a total of 8 exams, while many student will take more, I know some seniors who recently graduated that took 12 AP's. But many more students find ways to take a minimal 6 or 7 ap's. I think a fairer average would be that students take 8 ap's. 10 might be a little high.qauz

See http://www.azstarnet.com/dailystar/dailystar/56336.php It says UHS was best in the world, but I didn't see any mention of the average number of tests taken. Tlglenn
