In the midst of a pandemic, requiring our teachers to teach remotely for the 4th Quarter while students were sheltering-in-place, places even more emphasis on the quality of instruction that occurs in our AP classrooms. Furthermore, our Class of 2020 was basically given the opportunity to conclude their school-year in late-March with a "PC19" designation if they were passing the course as of March 13th.
This is in addition to the constant changes being implemented by College Board leading up to the tests themselves. Impressively, we still had 519 testers out of 553 students enrolled in AP courses.
For Lake Norman Charter, here is a rundown of some quick-hit highlights, starting with our overall success:

Congrats to our teachers & students for Being Your Best! #LNCPride
Three subjects had 100% Proficiency: Biology, Studio Art: 2-D, and Studio Art: Drawing
Three additional subjects had a Proficiency in the 90%-range: Chemistry, English Literature, and U.S. Government.
The LNC Proficiency rate of nine subjects was at least 20% higher than the National Average.
Four subjects had at least 30% higher Proficiency rate than the National Average.
Out of 15 subjects, we were above the National Average in 14, with the remaining subject still earning an 82% proficiency.
A long-term comparison of our overall proficiency has increased, in addition to drastically increasing the total number of students taking exams:
2015: 341 out of 426 (80.1% proficiency)
2020: 423 out of 519 (81.5%)
This point of pride can be shared by all faculty and staff as continued evidence of our high academic standards in all subject areas. Our success is a testament to the shared ownership of learning by our teachers and students, as well as the shared support by our families.
Thank you to our teachers and students for Being Your Best,
#LNCPride
