ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES
“The percent of a school’s students who take and pass
AP exams is the best AP-related indicator of whether
the school is preparing increasing percentages of its
students to graduate from college.”
─ Chrys Dougherty, Lynn Mellor, and
Shuling Jian. The Relationship
Between Advanced Placement and
College Graduation (National Center
for Educational Accountability, 2006).
