[quote=Anonymous]The percentage of Black or African American graduates in the MCPS Class of 2017 that earned at least one AP exam score of 3 or higher was 28.2; this is 21.5 percentage points higher than the rate for Blank or African American graduates in the nation (6.7 percent). The AP Exam performance rate by Hispanic/Latino graduates in MCPS was 35.3 percent; this is 12.0 percentage points higher than the rate of Hispanic/Latino graduates in the nation (23.3 percent)[/quote][/quote]

So you are saying only a quarter of AA students passed just ONE AP exam with a 3 and they mark that successful? If the kids are getting A’s in AP they should easily be getting 4’s and 5’s on the AP exam - so long as the class is taught correctly. But we all know it isn’t.

Whether or not MCPS is a few point higher than the rest of the country is irrelevant. Those numbers are absolutely terrible and embarrassing. How many parents spend how much money on these exams? College Board has duped us all. [/quote]

Where is the percentage of 2 or more or 3 or more? Are they no giving us those stats.  Very vague indeed.

I would love to see stats of grades in the actual class and then the AP test score - for all races.  But of course they would never post that b[/quote]
