Maryland coming in with the 2nd highest ratio! My daughter took 3 last year, and is enrolled in 4 this year.

This very interesting data. I am curious what is causing the spread of participation. I had assumed poverty would be the main factor, poorer schools wouldn’t have as many AP classes, but the rates across states vary a lot and Arkansas has a higher rate than a lot of wealthier states. I wonder if it’s state incentives or something else at play as well?
I will say I learned at college my rural highschool didn’t have nearly as many AP classes as some nicer schools in the suburbs.

I am blaming my district-issued lap top, but the article is taking forever to load and the formatting is not showing me everything.
Is there anything in there about which states have the highest passing rates (3+)? Schools I’ve worked at in Texas highly incentivized taking the tests but not necessarily passing them, so our rates as teachers were always low in APUSH and Stats and a few others. Our district always bragged about what percent of graduates went to a 4-year university but said nothing about what percentage came back after a semester or two.

Per capita would be much better.
Casual Alabama erasure right here
misleading without a ratio to population.

From the [College Board](https://reports.collegeboard.org/ap-program-results/class-of-2024) Class of 2024 results. Wealthy states seem to be leading lower GDP states.
