Using a single and controversial measure, the magazine ranked schools on a score produced by dividing the number  \nabout AP courses in private schools from the College Board, which administers the program.  \nDisproportionately High Share Of the 1,861,154 AP tests taken by students in public and private schools  \nof Advanced Placement (AP) and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) tests taken by all students at a school by the number of graduating seniors. Although anyone familiar with the complexity of life ina high school would cringe at the idea of summarizing any school’s worth with a solitary number,  \nMean AP Scores – 2004  \n4.00  \n3.00  \n2.00  \n1.00  \n0.00  \nPublic Private  \nin 2004, private school students took 293,895, or 16 percent. To provide some perspective, U.S. Census Bureau data for 2003-04 show that private schools enrolled 7.5 percent of the country’s secondary school students. Thus, private schools account for a disproportionately high  \nNewsweek nonetheless defended its metric as “one of the best measures available to compare a wide range of students’ readiness for higher-level work.” At the same  \nnumber of AP exams.  \nThe numbers are even more impressive when examining the share of students who score 3 or higher on the AP test’s  \ntime, the magazine acknowledged that its method fails to“tell the whole story about a school.”The Newsweek controversy aside, research shows  \nstrong correlations between a student’s exposure to a rigorous high school curriculum and her success in college. Working on the assumption that Ad-  \nRatio of AP Exams to Students  \n25  \n20  \n15  \n10  \n5  \n0  \nPublic Private  \n1-5 scoring scale.(The College Board considers a score of 3 or higher “predictive of college success,” and most colleges offer credit for such scores.) Students in public and private high schools received a grade of 3 or higher on 1,145,851 AP exams in 2004. That amounts to a combined success  \nvanced Placement courses are one indicator of how well schools help students work at high levels and prepare for the challenges of college, CAPE obtained summary data  \nrate of 62 percent. Students in private schools sat for 293,895 AP exams and scored a 3 or higher on 210,401 of them, for a success rate of 72 percent. Looked  \nat from a different angle, private schools, which, it is worth repeating, enrolled 7.5 percent of high school students in 2003- 04, accounted for 18 percent of all AP exams on which students achieved scores predictive of college success.  \nThe mean AP exam grade for private school students in 2004 was 3.25, and the mean grade for public school students was 2.90.  \nRatio of Exams to Students  \nWhile Newsweek provided the ratio of AP exams to graduates, CAPE is able to provide the ratio of AP exams to student enrollment. CAPE’s approach uses the entire high school population as a base, rather than just those students who successfully make it to graduation. In 2004, the ratio of exams to students was 23 percent in private schools and 10 percent in public schools. Put another way, 23 AP exams were administered for every 100 private school students in grades 9-12, and 10 AP exams were administered for every  \n100 public school students. Keep in mind that total enrollment in grades 9-12 is the denominator here, even though most AP examinees (83 percent, according to the College Board) are 11th and 12th graders.  \nNarrower Achievement Gap  \nA continuing challenge in American education is the achievement gap between white students and black students. Unfortunately, the gap persists in the AP program, with African American students significantly underrepresented and their scores significantly lower.
