In 2023–2024, six high school s in Montgomery County Public Schools ( MCPS) piloted this course, primarily enrolling students who had taken Honors English 9, with Gaithersburg High School expanding access to students receiving English Language Development ( ELD) services. This outcome evaluation compared the academic performance of Grade 10 students enrolled in AP Seminar and English 10 in six participating high schools during the 2023–2024 school year. It supports the MCPS’ emphasis on academic excellence and will be used to inform efforts to provide programmatic and discrete opportunities for all students, as outlined in the MCPS’ 2026–2030 Strategic Plan.  \nMethods  \nFindings  \nThis study used a quasi-experimental design to compare 2023–2024 Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program English Language Arts/Literacy ( MCAP ELA/L) and AP Seminar exam outcomes for Grade 10 students in the English 10: AP Seminar course with matched students enrolled in the English 10 course based on PSAT Reading and Writing scores, demographics, and services received.  \nStudent Characteristics  \nIn the 2023–2024 school year, 337 students enrolled in English 10: AP Seminar, while 2, 294 students took English 10 across six MCPS high schools. Compared to their peers in the English 10 course, more students who took AP Seminar were female ( 60. 5%) or Asian ( 27. 3%) . Students in most other groups were less represented in t he AP Seminar course. Enrollment rates were similar for students who identified as Black or African American ( 31. 8% in AP Seminar vs. 31. 3% in English 10) and White ( 13.4% in AP Seminar vs. 12. 9% in English 10) . A smaller percentage of students identified as Emergent Multilingual Learner ( EML) or recently exited EML ( 5. 9% vs. 14. 1%), Free and Reduced-price Meals System ( FARMS) services ( 38. 9% vs. 52. 7%), or with an Individualized Education Program ( IEP) ( 0. 6% vs. 11. 8%) enrolled in AP Seminar compared to English 10.  \nShared Accountability-August 2025 1  \nEnglish 10 : Advanced Placement Seminar Course  \n  Executive Summary   \nFindings  \nPrior Academic Performance  \nAlthough enrollment in the English 10: AP Seminar course was open to all students without prerequisites in the six participating high schools, most students who enrolled in AP Seminar had taken Honors English 9 the previous year. Their performance in that course provided insight into their academic readiness, as success in Honors English 9 is a strong indicator of success in AP Seminar. Compared to their peers in the English 10 course, most AP Seminar students who earned a grade of C or higher in English 9 maintained that level of performance. However, all students who earned lower than a C in English 9 continued to receive a grade lower than a C in AP Seminar.  \nThe PSAT/NMSQT, administered in October 2023, provided an early measure of student performance in the beginning of enrolling in t he AP Seminar course, and served as an indicator of college readiness. On the PSAT/NMSQT Reading and Writing, 79. 3% of AP Seminar students met the college-readiness benchmark ( score of 430 or above), compared to 47. 8% of English 10 students.  \nThe differences in both English 9 course grade and PSAT/NMSQT Reading and Writing were statistically significant betwee","cbCaikRQtVwlheg8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikRQtVwlheg8","pdf",4141855,26,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Program Description\n# Evaluation Scope\n# Methods\n# Results\n# Key Findings\n# Conclusion\n# References","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the English 10: AP Seminar course evaluation for 2023–2024?\",\"answer\":\"The evaluation compares academic performance outcomes for Grade 10 students enrolled in AP Seminar versus students in the English 10 course across six participating MCPS high schools during the 2023–2024 school year.\"},{\"question\":\"How were students and outcomes compared in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a quasi-experimental design, matching AP Seminar students to English 10 students using PSAT Reading and Writing scores, demographics, and services received, then comparing MCAP ELA/L and AP Seminar exam outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key results on Grade 10 MCAP ELA/L proficiency?\",\"answer\":\"AP Seminar students had a higher proficiency rate on the Grade 10 MCAP ELA/L assessment than English 10 students, and differences were statistically significant for several student groups, with limitations for some subgroups due to small sample sizes.\"}]","English 10: Advanced Placement Seminar Course Program Evaluation 2023-2024 - Executive Summary | PDF",66]
