Apollo and Daviess County high schools are among the top high schools in Kentucky as ranked by U.S. News and World Report, based on student performance on state exit exams and internationally available exams on college-level course work, including Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams. The U.S. News rankings include data on more than 21,000 public high schools in the nation. Schools are awarded gold, silver or bronze medals based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college. Both Apollo and Daviess County high school earned silver medals.

In the report released earlier this month, Apollo High School is ranked 26th in the state with an AP course work and exam participation rate of 33 percent and a participant pass rate of 56 percent.
