This report shows five years of data at the school, state and global levels. On the first page, a graph illustrates the year-over-year change in the percentage of AP students with scores of 3 or higher, next to a table that provides the overall
total exams, total unique students and both the number and percentage of AP students with one or more scores of 3 or higher. On subsequent pages, the report provides subject-specific summary data by year: total exams, total exams by
score and mean score.

Success on an AP Exam is defined as an exam score of 3 or higher, which represents the score point that research finds predictive of college success and college graduation. These findings have held consistent across the decades. One
example of such a study comes from the National Center for Educational Accountability, which found that an AP Exam score, and a score of 3 or higher in particular, is a strong predictor of a students ability to persist in college and
earn a bachelors degree.
The data in this report differs from other College Board reports, such as The AP Report to the Nation, which tracks exams taken by seniors throughout their high school career (cohort-based) and includes public school data only.

This report shows five years of data at the school, state and global levels. On the first page, a graph illustrates the year-over-year change in the percentage of AP students with scores of 3 or higher, next to a table that provides the overall
total exams, total unique students and both the number and percentage of AP students with one or more scores of 3 or higher. On subsequent pages, the report provides subject-specific summary data by year: total exams, total exams by
score and mean score.

Success on an AP Exam is defined as an exam score of 3 or higher, which represents the score point that research finds predictive of college success and college graduation. These findings have held consistent across the decades. One
example of such a study comes from the National Center for Educational Accountability, which found that an AP Exam score, and a score of 3 or higher in particular, is a strong predictor of a students ability to persist in college and
earn a bachelors degree.
The data in this report differs from other College Board reports, such as The AP Report to the Nation, which tracks exams taken by seniors throughout their high school career (cohort-based) and includes public school data only.

This report shows five years of data at the school, state and global levels. On the first page, a graph illustrates the year-over-year change in the percentage of AP students with scores of 3 or higher, next to a table that provides the overall
total exams, total unique students and both the number and percentage of AP students with one or more scores of 3 or higher. On subsequent pages, the report provides subject-specific summary data by year: total exams, total exams by
score and mean score.

Success on an AP Exam is defined as an exam score of 3 or higher, which represents the score point that research finds predictive of college success and college graduation. These findings have held consistent across the decades. One
example of such a study comes from the National Center for Educational Accountability, which found that an AP Exam score, and a score of 3 or higher in particular, is a strong predictor of a students ability to persist in college and
earn a bachelors degree.
The data in this report differs from other College Board reports, such as The AP Report to the Nation, which tracks exams taken by seniors throughout their high school career (cohort-based) and includes public school data only.

This report shows five years of data at the school, state and global levels. On the first page, a graph illustrates the year-over-year change in the percentage of AP students with scores of 3 or higher, next to a table that provides the overall
total exams, total unique students and both the number and percentage of AP students with one or more scores of 3 or higher. On subsequent pages, the report provides subject-specific summary data by year: total exams, total exams by
score and mean score.

Success on an AP Exam is defined as an exam score of 3 or higher, which represents the score point that research finds predictive of college success and college graduation. These findings have held consistent across the decades. One
example of such a study comes from the National Center for Educational Accountability, which found that an AP Exam score, and a score of 3 or higher in particular, is a strong predictor of a students ability to persist in college and
earn a bachelors degree.
The data in this report differs from other College Board reports, such as The AP Report to the Nation, which tracks exams taken by seniors throughout their high school career (cohort-based) and includes public school data only.
