CodeHS Teachers Report Higher Pass Rates and Scores Compared to Nationwide Results

As part of our continuous effort to improve AP Computer Science instruction, we sent out a survey to AP teachers who use CodeHS, asking them to share student performance data on the 2024 AP exams. We asked teachers about pass rates, resource usage, and feedback on our AP courses. We had a total of 71 teachers respond to the survey, and have outlined the feedback from the survey below.

AP Computer Science A (CSA) Performance Overview

We had 31 AP CSA teachers respond to the survey. Of the teachers who responded, their students outperformed the national average by a significant margin. Here’s how the distribution of scores breaks down:

The overall national pass rate for AP CSA this year was 66%, with 46% of all students receiving a 4 or 5 on the exam. In comparison, the CodeHS teachers who responded to our survey reported a passing rate of 83%, with 64% of reported students receiving a 4 or 5 on the exam.

AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) Performance Overview

We had a total of 40 AP Computer Science Principles teachers respond to the survey. The results from AP CSP exams also reflect positive outcomes for the students using CodeHS.

The overall national pass rate for AP CSP this year was 65%, with 32% of all students receiving a 4 or 5 on the exam. CodeHS teachers who responded to our survey reported a passing rate of 77%, with 40% of reported students receiving a 4 or 5 on the exam.
