"This report explores the relationship between college graduation rates and student participation and success in Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams. Three approaches to examining the relationship are reviewed: (1) comparing the college graduation rates of AP and non-AP students; (2) comparing the college graduation rates of AP and non-AP students after controlling for students' demographics and prior achievement and the demographics of their high schools; and 3) examining the relationship between the percent of students from a given high school graduating from college, and the school's percent of students in Advanced Placement."
