Huge years for APCSA at Jacobs! 3.82 average, way above the national and IL average! 94.1% pass rate! 51 test takers, we have both quality and quantity at Jacobs! I love these students!!
Jacobs A finished 3rd out of 40+ teams at the MSOE OP Coding Competition! Great job by Jonah Armbrecht, Sahasra Kotarkonda, Jet Trommer and Jack Baldwin! First time at the competition! @JacobsHighS
Undergrad CS students can have their tuition covered in exchange for working at a qualified job in Illinois after graduation.
The new iGROW grant will grow Illinois' thriving tech sector and help bright and determined students come to #ILLINOIS.

The most challenging question types for this year’s AP Computer Science Principles students, overall, were code analysis questions, on which the average score was 60%.
% of AP Computer Science Principles students earning each point on the Create project (which is 30% of the AP score):
Program Purpose/Function: 59%
Data Abstraction: 72%
Managing Complexity: 37%
Procedural Abstraction: 46%
Algorithm Implementation: 47%
Testing: 41%
This year’s AP Computer Science Principles students scored very high on exam questions about systems and networks; a massive 19% answered all such questions correctly.
Educators expanded access to AP Computer Science Principles for ~31,000 additional students this year – a massive 22% increase – and scores remained virtually the same as when fewer students had such opportunities last year, a testament to educators’ belief in student potential.
More good news: this year’s AP Computer Science A students demonstrated slightly stronger mastery than last year’s, so scores have risen, even as educators have expanded access to 19% more students than the prior school year.
AP Computer Science A students generally earned strongest scores in the free-response question on Q3 about Array / ArrayList; 31% earned 8-9 out of the 9 points possible.
The most challenging question on this year’s AP Computer Science A exam was Q4 on 2D Array; 34% of students earned 0 of the 9 points possible: https://t.co/OL3nMH2b3K
Jacobs 2020 grad Ashleigh Price came into today to speak to all our APCS classes
Ashleigh is a current student at EIU, majoring in Digital Media Technology, with minors in Computer Science and Studio Art
She is an amazing combination of art and CS
