Equity & Access

• The College Board strongly encourages 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.

Are Our Students Prepared?
We PROMISE to provide all students with access to academically challenging coursework before they enroll in AP.

AP Program Goals

• Equity over Passing Scores
• Scoring a 1 or 2 still has value - EXPOSURE
• Providing the necessary support for ALL students to be successful learners
