Washington State football continued its academic progress under Mike Leach, recording a 961 academic progress rating score in 2015-16, the school announced Wednesday, citing NCAA figures.
APR is an annual assessment of each team’s academic and retention history, and overall APR score is based on the most recent four years of data. According to WSU’s news release, the Cougars’ football team’s 961 this year was enough to give them a four-year average of 964, which tied last year’s score that was WSU’s highest four-year average in program history.
But football aside, five WSU athletic teams posted perfect single-year APR scores of 1,000 for the 2015-16 academic year: women’s basketball, golf, tennis, volleyball and men’s golf.
