The NCAA Academic Progress Rate is a measure of the eligibility and retention of student-athletes participating in NCAA sports at any Division I institution. Each NCAA varsity team is given a score on a scale from 1-1000 (1000 meaning that every individual on that team was academically eligible for the following term and either returned to school or graduated). Individual teams with a score below 925 over a multi-year period are subject to penalties. All of the 28 Dartmouth teams measured were well above the penalty line, with an average score of 999.3. The current report measures enrollment from the academic years 2006-07 through 2012-13. 2014's APR release is the ninth year to feature public commendations. Dartmouth has been in the top three nationally each year, finishing first or second for seven of the past eight years. Big Green teams rank first all-time with 208 public commendations over the past nine years. 1. Dartmouth 208 2. Yale 202 3.
