I went through my past three years of test scores and wrote down every name of every student who passed their AP Human Geography test and gave them their own star. Another teacher at my school started her own star jar and told her students she would add their names to the jar when they passed. I thought it was such a cool idea and wanted to make one of my own for my students. AP Human is one of the most difficult AP tests to pass and the pass rate is around 50% in Texas. My students had an 85% pass rate and blew me away two years in a row! I am excited that they can add their own names to the jar next year when they pass.","fullyFundedDate":1762293364387,"projectUrl":"project/ap-stars/9750626/","projectTitle":"AP Stars!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cervera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6490148_orig.jpg?crop=447,447,x97,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1593458007873","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6490148"},{"teacherId":6490148,"projectId":9750824,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support in helping me get these packs of poster paper and the materials to hang them up!
