For Immediate Release: January 17, 2024 Daniel Boone Area High School Earns College Board AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award Recognized for Improving Gender Representation in AP Computer Science Principles Birdsboro, Pennsylvania ─ Daniel Boone Area High School has earned the College Board AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award for achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science Principles. Schools honored with the AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award have expanded girls’ access in AP computer science courses. More than 1,100 institutions achieved either 50% or higher female representation in one of the two AP computer science courses or a percentage of the female computer science exam takers meeting or exceeding that of the school’s female population during the 2022-23 school year. In 2023, Daniel Boone Area High School was one of 834 recognized in the category of AP Computer Science Principles (CSP). “We’re thrilled to congratulate our female AP computer science students and their teachers on this step toward gender parity in computer science education,” said Superintendent Mr. Tom Voelker. “We’re honored that our school earned this distinction and look forward to seeing these young women and others pursue and achieve success in computer science education and careers.” Overall, female students remain underrepresented in our high school computer science classes, accounting for just 34% of AP Computer Science Principles participants and 26% of AP Computer Science A participants. Currently, 57.5% of the nation’s high schools teach foundational computer science. The 834 schools that receive this year’s AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award serve as inspirations and models for all U.S. high schools. Thank you, Aaron Sborz, Principal Daniel Boone Area High School
