Advanced Placement
Over the last decade, a broader, more diverse group of students has benefited from expanded access to Advanced Placement. In addition, more students than ever before are succeeding on AP Exams.
Comparing the class of 2013 to the class of 2003 revealed the following: The class of 2013 achieved 1,000,135 more AP scores of 3, 4, or 5 (the scores
typically accepted by colleges for credit and placement) and had an increase of 824,368 AP scores of 1 or 2. In other words, there was a greater increase from 2003 to 2013 in the scores of 3 or higher than in the scores of 1 or 2.
33.2 percent of public high school graduates in the class of 2013 took an AP Exam, compared to 18.9 percent of graduates in the class of 2003.
20.1 percent of public high school graduates in the class of 2013 earned a 3 or higher on an AP Exam, compared to 12.2 percent of graduates in the class of 2003.
Low-income graduates accounted for 27.5 percent of those who took at least one AP Exam in the class of 2013, compared to 11.4 percent in the class of 2003. A total of 275,864 low-income graduates in the class of 2013 took at least one AP Exam during high school, which is more than four times the number of low-income graduates who took an AP Exam in the class of 2003.
Since 2003, there has been a 7.9 point increase in the percentage of U.S. public high school graduates scoring a 3 or higher on an AP Exam, with 17 states exceeding the national average for this percentage change. Once again, Maryland led all other states in the percentage of its public high school graduates scoring a 3 or higher on an AP Exam.

Is Advanced Placement for Everyone?
While there has been a rise in the overall scores of 3> the mean score on most exams remains 2.5 – 3.5 – (+/1)
(AP Student Score Distribution May 2015)
Biggest Complaint? Colleges and Universities are either not accepting the class or accepting the class and offering elective credit

How can you create a dual enrollment program?
Contacts are much easier now than they were 10 years ago
Colleges see the need to offer motivated students college level courses
It is a WIN – WIN for all
Your teachers are certified through the college
5th Annual Collaborative CTE Conference November 13, 2015
The down side?
Remind the students that they must do their own research on transferable credits
You will be surprised what and where credits are accepted or not!
There are regulations concerning the “poaching” of students from local colleges
