BCS Test Scores
Iowa Assessments
The results are in and once again our elementary and middle school students excelled on their standardized test! All of our classes tested above the national average for their grade levels. The 5.2 score for 3rd grade means they scored as one would expect 5th graders in their 2nd month of school to score on the test, as compared to the national 3rd grade average of 3.8. Hooray for our students and their teachers! Our composite scores are as follows:
Kindergarten | 1.6 Grade Equivalency |
First Grade | 2.3 Grade Equivalency |
Second Grade | 3.7 Grade Equivalency |
Third Grade | 5.2 Grade Equivalency |
Fourth Grade | 6.7 Grade Equivalency |
Fifth Grade | 7.6 Grade Equivalency |
Sixth Grade | 8.3 Grade Equivalency |

AP Scores
As the school year started to wrap up last year, many of our students were taking Advanced Placement (AP) exams in 14 subject areas. Advanced Placement is a program in the United States as well as internationally created by the College Board, which offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. Colleges and universities may grant course credit to students who obtain high scores on the AP exams.
College Board defines AP exam scores in terms of how capable the student is of receiving credit for a college course. The scores range on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). We are pleased to announce our students had a passing rate of 86%, far exceeding the state and global passing rates. In addition, a total of 48 current and recent BCS graduates have earned 2023 AP Scholars Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP exams.
