AdvanceKentucky’s Advanced Placement continues to shine in 2012!

We’ve always been a big fan of the AdvanceKentucky program to increase the offering of Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Kentucky’s public school system. This program is showing outstanding results, as the highlights below, taken from a briefing to the Kentucky Board of Education show:

• After three years in AdvanceKY, Cohort 1 (12 schools) realized a three-year increase of 199% in AP math, science and English qualifying scores (includes 775% increase in minority and 500% increase in low income).

• After two years in AdvanceKY, Cohort 2 (16 schools) realized a two-year increase of 110% in AP math, science and English qualifying scores (includes 275% increase in minority and 343% increase in low income).

• After one year in AdvanceKY, Cohort 3 (16 schools) realized a one-year increase of 144% in AP math, science and English qualifying scores (includes 600% increase in minority and 173% increase in low income).

The map below shows where schools in the first three cohorts are located. It also identifies schools in Cohort 4, which started using the program this year.
