Understanding the Need for Equity

“Despite increased diversification of the AP classroom, African American and Native American students remain significantly

underrepresented in AP classrooms nationwide, and Hispanic students remain

underrepresented in AP classrooms in many states”.

Advanced Placement Report to the Nation 2007

Closing the Gaps in Success for All Students

Reducing inequity in:Access – opening the doorAttainment - reaching the benchmark Achievement – mastering rigor

10

By group, by grade, by gender

Access Equitable enrollment

Attainment Attendance rates Drop out rates Promotion/Retention rates Special Education rates Gifted and Talented Graduation rates College-going rates AP, and other rigorous course enrollment rates PSAT, SAT, ACT, AP test taking rates Discipline - suspension and/or expulsion rates Culture and climate ratings

Achievement PSAT, SAT or ACT scores AP test scores State test scores – FCAT proficient or better GPA’s

Achievement =Equitable Grades

and AP Exam Scores

13

The Advanced Placement Program’s Official Equity Policy

Statement

“The College Board encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP courses for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the AP Program. Schools should make every effort to ensure that their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population”.

*The numbers for the PSAT Test Takers and SAT Test Takers are from the self-reported data collected from the test takers themselves, while the Enrollment is collected and reported by the Florida Department of Education. In some instances, students may self-report as belonging to an ethnic group different than recorded

by the FLDOE. This may cause the total number of test takers to be greater than the total number of enrolled students for a particular ethnic group. In these cases, we have changed the Participation Rate to 100% and these changes are indicated by the highlighted areas.
