May 06, 2025 | Athletics
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Highlighted by a school-record eight programs logging perfect single year APR scores, all of Kansas State's athletic teams met and exceeded the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate single and multi-year standards for the 14th straight year as the NCAA released its latest Division I APR data from the 2023-24 academic year.
Men's cross country, men's golf, women's basketball, women's cross country, women's golf, soccer, tennis and volleyball all recorded perfect 1000 marks for the 2023-24 season. The eight perfect scores outperformed the 2017-18 cohort, which saw seven teams achieve perfect status.
In addition, the multi-year scores (2019-20 through 2023-24) from football (990 – third in Big 12), women's golf (1000 - first), rowing (992 – fifth), tennis (1000 – first) (995- sixth) and volleyball all were among the best in the Big 12.
The Academic Progress Rate measures the eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team and also serves as a predictor of graduation success. Each year, the NCAA tracks the classroom performance of student-athletes on every Division I team through the annual scorecard of academic achievement, known as APR. The score measures eligibility and retention each semester or quarter and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. The most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on scores from the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 academic years.
