Studying computer science can open doors for students, giving them the tools to excel, and setting them up for high-paying careers, but girls have been left behind for far too long. That statement by the College Board explains the purpose of its AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award. Beverly Hills High School was recently recognized with the award for the 2019-2020 school year.
Schools receiving the award have achieved either 50 percent or higher female exam taker representation in one or both AP computer science courses, or a percentage of female computer science exam takers that meets or exceeds that of the school’s female population.
