The 2025 AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam scores:
5: 22%; 4: 32%; 3: 31%; 2: 12%; 1: 3%

¡Buen trabajo AP Spanish Language and Culture students and teachers! The percentage of students scoring 3 or higher increased by 2% compared to 2024, and 1,987 more students earned a top score of 5.

Multiple-Choice Questions:

Students performed exceptionally well on Unit 5: Factors That Impact Quality of Life; 64% earned most or all of the available points.

In contrast to 2024, Unit 3: Influences of Beauty and Art proved the most challenging, with 21% of students earning most or all points.

Free-Response Questions:

Students demonstrated a strong understanding of concepts and skills across all four free response questions.

The highest-scoring question was Q3, a conversation task about organizing a talent show to raise funds for a school; an impressive 47% earned all of the 5 points possible on this task.

Question 4, a presentation about the role of public spaces in communities across two settings, was the most challenging task, yet 23% of students earned all 5 possible points.

All subjects’ AP score distributions for 2025 will be posted here when available: https://t.co/eodxLb6BJE

For the first time in nearly four years, Houston residents woke up with their yards and cars covered in a shimmering blanket of snow, sending them outside to capture the rare winter weather.

A huge win for 3 million of our teachers and firefighters, police officers and postal workers who will finally get the full Social Security benefits they’ve earned.

[National Rural Letter Carriers' Association @NRLCA]

The House just passed H.R. 82 with a two-thirds majority vote. H.R. 82 would repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). Both GPO and WEP unfairly reduce or eliminate Social Security benefits earned by rural letter carriers.

TX has dropped from 36th in per-pupil spending in 2018 to a troubling 44th in 2024. Our students & teachers deserve better than being pawns in a game of financial & political maneuvering. We must raise our voices & fight harder than ever in the upcoming #txlege 89th Session! #txed

Remember the teacher working environment is the student learning environment.

The AP Spanish Lit exam is Friday. What about a cheer up from Spain from Rosa Montero? Out of the 38 writers we studied, only 3 are alive and she is sending a message to my students. How special!😉 @ChannelviewISD @ChannelviewHS @emet_crz

[Susana Polanco @SraPolanc]

This is what my class looks like on AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam day🥳🥳 ¡Buena suerte a mis estudiantes!

[Susana Polanco @SraPolanc]

@Mr_Quintanilla1 Thank you. I will love that!

[Germain Quintanilla, M.A.Ed @Mr_Quintanilla1]

Today I had the honor of celebrating the accomplishments of our international graduates. These are students that have 5 or less years in U.S. school. They had to learn a new language/culture/school system and were still able to meet all graduation requirements against all odds. I am truly proud of them all. A big shout out to Mrs. Cantu and the ESL team for organizing the event for our students and families. I truly work with the best in the district. @tchill_ @emet_crz @FrankCahuasqui @CISD_ML @MikeHoustonAL

How to appreciate teachers:
1. Pay them what they're worth
2. Show them respect
3. Include their voice in decisions
4. Give them a more manageable workload
5. Give them proper resources
6. Don't make them pay for their own supplies
7. Coffee
