Specifically, College Board is honoring schools who reached 50% or higher female representation in either of the two AP computer science courses in 2018, or whose percentage of the female examinees met or exceeded that of the school's female population in 2018.

  • Woodrow Wilson Elementary School Weehawken, NJ
    Woodrow Wilson Elementary School Weehawken, NJ The Journey to Weehawken Woodrow Wilson Elementary School Weehawken, NJ Although it is part of the Union City School District, 365 students grades 1-8 Woodrow Wilson Elementary School is housed in a Students qualifying for free or reduced price lunch 60% former high school in Weehawken, New Jersey. Student ethnicity: Weehawken hosts Woodrow Wilson because while Hispanic 90% Other 10% Weehawken’s student population holds steady at about 1,000 students, Union City gains close to 12,000 students a year. Union City is one of the mostly densely populated cities in the country—some 67,000 residents live in the city’s 1.3 square miles—and the Union City’s school district is one of New Jersey’s poorest. More prosperous than Union City, Weehawken residents were initially wary of “inner city students” arriving in their neighborhood. Woodrow Wilson’s students are “inner city students”— 90% of the students are of Hispanic origin, and about 60% qualify as low income. They are also highly motivated and high achieving, thanks, in part, to the school’s powerful, student-centered philosophy. In an openness characteristic of the school, school leaders invited their Weehawken neighbors into the school at every opportunity; ten years later the neighborhood takes pride in the school. Union City was one of New Jersey’s first districts to experiment with an arts-infused curriculum. In 1995, district leaders invited then-Gifted and Talented teacher Ron Treanor to create a new school, based on the Gifted and Talented program. As principal, Treanor laid out a vision of “educated, well-rounded students with self-understanding and an ability to use their talents.” Building on the state’s broad support for arts-based education, and free to hand-pick faculty, Treanor chose teachers who were passionate about their work and had arts backgrounds, formal or informal.
