Title:	Participation and success in the advanced placement program continue to grow in the SREB states
Source:	http://publications.sreb.org/2010/2010AP.pdf
Date:	2010
Organization:	Southern Regional Education Board (SREB)
Short Description:	SREB states continued the growth of the last decade in participation of high school students in the Advanced Placement (AP) program, outpacing the national rate for the eighth straight year in 2009. Even with this growing population of students participating, the percentage of graduating seniors in SREB states who passed an AP exam while in high school matched the national rate for the third year in a row.
Annotation:	SREB’s Challenge to Lead Goals for Education recognize the AP program as key to introducing more high school students to rigorous, college-preparatory courses. The AP program continues to be a critical activity states can use to increase the number of college-ready high school graduates. The Challenge to Lead goals call for SREB states to increase enrollment and “passing” rates in AP courses until all groups of students exceed national averages.
