AP Exam Results are IN!
Results are in from last year’s AP Exams! At LMHS, 78% of exams and 76% of students who took an AP exam received a 3 or higher. This number has increased 6% over the last 5 years. LMHS AP test results are way above the Ohio State Average and National Average, which is a huge testament to our LMHS teachers!
While names of AP Scholars have not yet been released, 59 students earned the distinction of AP scholar.
A special shout-out to Jen Lyke who had the highest scores in the building (4.3) followed closely by Marty Skidmore (4.1) Additionally, Congratulations also to Jen Cook who had every student in her class receive a 3 or higher. Way to go LMHS!
Important Food Services Information
For the past two years, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has offered waivers to Child Nutrition (CN) Programs across the United States, allowing these programs to offer all students breakfast and lunch, at no charge. Unfortunately, these waivers are no longer in effect this school year. This means that starting this school year, 2022-2023, Child Nutrition programs across the nation will return to normal, pre- pandemic operations of charging families for meals at school. Families will once again be asked to complete and submit a current school year Free/Reduced Meal Application to learn if their students qualify.
Meal applications can be completed in two easy ways:
1. Meal applications can be completed online by visiting www.payschoolscentral.com
2. Paper Meal applications can be found and downloaded here. These meal applications must be completed in entirety and returned to the student's home school or the Food Services Department.
Please be aware, Free and Reduced applications are more than just meals! If your family qualifies, you may be eligible for discounts/waivers of instructional school fees, discounted registration fees for AP/SAT/ACT Testing, funds for supplemental Food Assistance for students, and assists with the maintenance of district funding for student programs and special services.
The Little Miami Local Schools Food Services Department is committed to assisting families and making this transition back to normal operations as easy as possible. Please feel free to contact Ron McWhorter, Food Services Director, rmcwhorter@lmsdoh.org, with questions.

DID YOU KNOW? By the age of three, a child’s brain is already 80% developed, and, by the time a child enters kindergarten, they must already know thousands of words in order to succeed in the classroom. Reading aloud to a child and giving them access to books is the best way to ensure they are prepared to enter kindergarten.
The Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library wants to start a new chapter in early childhood literacy throughout Ohio by providing families with books.
