Forty-five students from local high schools have earned prestigious Cambridge Learner Awards for their performance on the June 2025 Cambridge exams, with several Belleview High School students standing out for exceptional achievement.
Among the honorees, three Belleview students, Aidan Aylward, Azarah Doyle, Douglas Vandeursen and Evan Kenney, distinguished themselves by earning the Cambridge “merit” award, a recognition reserved for students who achieve grades of B or higher on at least three exams. Their accomplishment places them among the top performers across Marion County.
Aylward and Vandeursen also demonstrated sustained excellence, having previously earned merit recognition during the June 2024 exam series.
In total, four students from Belleview High received merit honors, alongside peers from Lake Weir High School and North Marion High School. The remaining 41 students across the three schools earned the Cambridge “Scholar” award, which requires a minimum of C grades on three exams.
Cambridge International exams are scored on a scale from E to A+, with A+ representing the highest level of achievement. According to the Florida Department of Education, even a grade of E aligns with the minimum passing score on Advanced Placement exams, underscoring the rigor of the program. The program provides students with access to college-level coursework in high school while emphasizing a rigorous, internationally benchmarked curriculum.
