Equity & Excellence in AP


The College Board’s Equity and Excellence Policy Statement

The College Board strongly encourages educators to

make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP

programs by giving all willing and academically

prepared students the opportunity to participate in AP.”

2012, The College Board

AP Equity & Excellence ReportAs part of our partnership with districts in California, our State and District Partnership experts encourage district leaders to:


(1)

Increase the number of students who are college and career ready

(2)

Increase the number of students who earn a score of 3 or higher on an AP Exam

AP Equity & Excellence ReportMultiple research studies have confirmed the following benefits for AP students who achieve scores of 3 or higher on an AP Exam.

1. Students perform well in subsequent college courses in the discipline.

2. Students are more likely to major in their AP subject or a related discipline, particularly in STEM subjects.

3. Students take more — not less —college course work in the discipline.

4. Students are more likely to graduate within four years.

(AP® Student Success at the College Level: Recent Research, College Board, 2014)
