POCATELLO, Idaho- The NCAA released its APR numbers for the 2018-19 school year and the multi-year score. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation of all student-athletes on scholarship.
 
The latest multi-year calculations include scores from the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 school year. The required multi-year score by the NCAA is 930 and all Bengal teams meet that requirement.
 
The Bengals had three programs (men's tennis, women's basketball, and volleyball) score a perfect 1,000 for the 2018-19 school year.
 
The women's basketball program was the closest program to scoring a perfect score of 1,000 for the multi-year and single-year scores with a 995 multi-year rate.
 
Idaho State had nine programs score a 980 or greater in the multi-year score. Those programs were men's cross country (986), men's tennis (983), men's track (984), women's basketball (995), women's cross country (981), women's soccer (987), women's tennis (992), women's track (983) and women's volleyball (989).
 
Idaho State had five programs finish in the top five or better of the Big Sky Conference with their multi-year scores. Men's track and women's basketball had the second highest multi-year APR scores in the Big Sky Conference. The volleyball program had the third highest score while men's cross country and women's track had the fourth highest score in the Big Sky.
 
"We are proud of our teams and student-athletes for their academic progress, and we continue to be very focused on achieving higher marks. As we steer programs in the direction of high performance in competition, we remain dedicated to investing in the academic life and performance of every student. When we land ourselves in the top ranks of the NCAA in APR, then we will know we are fulfilling our most critical mission well," said Athletic Director Pauline Thiros.
