[quote=Anonymous]Jay Matthews and others would tell you that students, particularly those typically considered disadvantaged, benefit from challenging themselves and taking AP classes regardless of the outcome on the AP exam. So, the Challenge Index is a valid measure of how well schools are doing at encouraging less advantaged students to step up to, hopefully, a college track. For those very same reasons, overall AP pass rates will be lower at those schools than the FCPS schools were the percentages are lower.[/quote]
