By Idaho State Athletics,

The Idaho State University student-athletes continue to succeed in the classroom. Today the NCAA released its APR scores and the Bengals tied their school record for the highest one-year score with a 983. The one-year score is based on the 2013-14 academic year. The Bengals also set a record for the four-year average with a 973.
