The College Board has released the second annual Advanced Placement Report to the Nation. The Report shows that all 50 states and the District of Columbia have achieved an increase in the percentage of high school students earning a grade of 3 or higher in college-level AP courses since 2000.
"We must encourage our kids to take more challenging courses, and the Advanced Placement Program has been proven to make a difference in student performance," said U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings. "Under the President's AP Incentive program, we will increase the number of students taking AP math and science exams from 380,000 today to 1.5 million by 2012."
