The 7th Annual AP Report to the
Nation
- The College Board's Advance Placement
Program (AP) enables students to pursue college-level studies
while still in high school. Through more than 30
college-level courses, each culminating in a rigorous exam, AP
provides willing and academically prepared students with the
opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement or both.
Maryland has seen a big increase in the percentage of
Black/African American students having success on the AP
Assessments. Nearly 10 percent (9.9 percent) of students
receiving a grade of 3 or better in Maryland were Black/African
Americans. ERHS was recognized by the College Board for
success of Black/African American students scoring a 3 or better
on the following AP exams: AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP English
Language and Composition and AP English Literature and
Composition).
