All 11 teams achieved greater academic progress rate scores than national average for their respective sports
QUEENS, N.Y. (May 19, 2020) – A week after four St. John's teams received Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) Public Recognition Awards for their outstanding work in the classroom, 11 Red Storm programs achieved higher APR marks than the national average in their respective sports. The NCAA made its official announcement on Tuesday.
The 11 teams earning APR scores better than the national average are women's cross country (1,000), women's fencing (1,000), women's golf (1,000), women's track & field (1,000), women's basketball (994), softball (993), women's tennis (992), women's volleyball (989), men's lacrosse (989), men's tennis (985) and baseball (982). In addition, among the teams that surpassed the national average, women's golf, women's fencing, women's track & field and women's cross country all captured perfect marks based on the latest release of scores from the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19 academic years.
Overall, NCAA Division I student-athletes continue to achieve classroom success at record-high levels, earning an cumulative multiyear Academic Progress Rate of 983 for the third consecutive year. The APR, created to provide more of a real-time measurement of academic success than graduation rates offer, is a team-based metric in which scholarship student-athletes earn 1 point each term for remaining eligible and 1 point for staying in school or graduating. Schools that don't offer scholarships track their recruited student-athletes.
Each NCAA Division I sports team submits data to have its Academic Progress Rate calculated each academic year. The NCAA reports both single-year and four-year rates, on which penalties for poor academic performance are based. National aggregates are based on all teams with usable, member-provided data. APRs for each team, lists of teams receiving public recognition and those receiving sanctions are available online through the NCAA's searchable database.
