大学理事会的大学先修课程（AP）计划允许学生在高中时参加大学水平的课程，在20世纪90年代获得了巨大的增长。尽管整体增长，小型农村学校和高度贫困学校继续提供相对较少的AP课程，黑人，西班牙裔和低收入学生在AP课程中的代表性仍然严重不足。在20世纪90年代，AP激励计划主要补贴低收入学生的考试费用，但这并没有为低收入和农村学校提供激励，以扩大他们的AP课程，并没有加强低收入，黑人和西班牙裔学生薄弱的学术准备。最近的联邦资助变化提供了一个正确的方向，通过支持一个全面的方法，以增加AP的访问和传统上服务不足的学生的参与。
The College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) Program, which allows students to take college-level courses while in high school, enjoyed tremendous growth in the 1990s. Despite overall growth, small rural schools and high poverty schools continue to offer relatively few AP courses, and black, Hispanic, and low income students remain grossly underrepresented in AP classes. During the 1990s, AP incentive programs primarily subsidized test fees for low income students, but this provided no incentive for low income and rural schools to expand their AP course offerings and did nothing to strengthen the weak academic preparation of low income, black and Hispanic students. Recent federal funding changes provide a step in the right direction by supporting a comprehensive approach to increasing the AP access and participation of traditionally underserved students.
