Jacob Malin, a 2014 graduate of Arlington High School, performed so well on his advanced-placement psychology exam last May that he has fallen into a select category, AHS Principal Matthew Janger reported Jan. 30.

Malin not only received the top score of 5, but in doing so, he was one of only three students in the world to earn every point possible on the psychology exam, answering every multiple-choice question correctly and earning full points on the free-response section of the exam.

"We applaud Jacob for his hard work, and we also congratulate his teacher, Michael Sandler, for his ability to engage his students and enable them to excel in a college-level course," Dr. Janger wrote. "This outstanding accomplishment is a wonderful reflection of the education being offered here at Arlington High School."
