Flowers  \nLamont A. Flowers is the Distinguished Professor of Educational Leadership in the Department of Leadership, Counselor Education, and Human and Organizational Development and the executive director of the Charles H. Houston Center for the Study of the Black Experience in Education in the Eugene T. Moore School of Education at Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina.  \nTheAdvanced Placement (AP) program, sponsored by The College Board, is a multi-disciplinary program designed to provide students with the opportunity to learn exciting subjects in innovative ways and gain college credit, while in high school, for demonstrated masteryin particular fields of study. During the past fiftyyears, there has been an increasing number of students and schools that have participated in theAP program. For instance, in 1956, there were only 104 schools, 1,229 students, and 130 colleges and universities participating in the AP program. In 2006, approximately 16,000 schools, 1,339,282 students, and 3,638 colleges and universities participated in the AP program (The College Board, 2006a). With the increasing number of participants and  \neducational institutions, theAP program has also grown and expanded to incorporate increasingly more diverse learning opportunities. In fact, today, the AP program has more than thirty different courses covering various subjects, including but not limited to computer science, Spanish literature, and environmental science.  \nIn light of the continued success and development oftheAP program (Johnson, 2004; Paige, 2004), the benefits of participating in AP programs on educational outcomes have been examined and reported (Santoli, 2002). For example, Morgan and Ramist (1998), in their study involving 21 colleges, found that students who had placed out ofan introductory course because of theirAP exam scores earned higher average course grades on the second, third, fourth, and in some cases, fifth course in the college curriculum than did students who took the introductory course. Ina follow-up study, based on data from approximately 11 colleges and universities, Morgan and Maneckshana (2000) discovered that students who scored higher on the AP Calculus AB exam were more likely to graduate in four years or less and earn higher overall grade point averages than did students who scored lower on the AP Calculus AB exam. In another comprehensive study exploring educational outcomes, involving nearly 4,000 students spanning approximately 30years, BleskeRechek, Lubinski, and Bendow (2004) found that students who participated in AP programs were more likely than students who did not participate in AP programs to convey higher levels of satisfaction with their high school experiences and earn a master’s degree or higher. Overall, Bleske-Rechek et al.’s findings indicated that AP programs positively impact students’perceptions of high school as well as their long-term educational outcomes. Summarizing the primary findings in their study, Bleske-Rechek et al. noted: “[T]hrough self-selection or something intrinsic to the AP program itself, AP involvement is a positive predictor of educational success and satisfaction for intellectually talented youth”(p. 219) .  \nResearch and data have also indicated that racial and ethnic minority students in K-12 school settings were disproportionately represented in AP programs and scored lower on AP exams than their White peers (The College Board, 2004; 2006b; Venkateswaran, 2004). For example, Klopfenstein (2004) found thatAfricanAmerican and Hispanic students in Texas, who were more likely to come from low-income families, were not as likely to participate in AP programs when compared to White students. Moreover, Solórzano and Ornelas (2002, 2004) conducted state-level analyses of California high schoolsand found that African American, Hisp","cbCaioNBv4nsuYTy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioNBv4nsuYTy","pdf",99988,12,"English","# Introduction\n## Theoretical Foundation","[{\"question\":\"What does the study aim to determine about AP program participation?\",\"answer\":\"It aims to explore racial differences in how AP program participation affects educational and labor market success after high school.\"},{\"question\":\"What evidence is cited regarding overall AP program benefits?\",\"answer\":\"Prior studies are summarized as showing AP involvement is associated with improved educational outcomes such as higher course grades, faster or increased graduation, greater satisfaction, and higher attainment.\"},{\"question\":\"How are racial disparities in AP participation and performance addressed?\",\"answer\":\"The text notes that racial and ethnic minority students are disproportionately represented in AP programs and often score lower than White peers, with additional analysis focusing on factors such as socioeconomic status.\"}]","Racial Differences in the Impact of Participating in Advanced Placement Programs on Educational and Labor Market Outcomes | PDF",1792096160]
