对大学和职业准备的呼吁渗透到州和联邦的政策倡议中，反映出越来越多的高中毕业生对中学后教育的要求准备不足。尽管推动高，共同的标准，高中学生从事非常不同的课程在内容和严格性方面。大学先修课程（AP）为高中生提供更密集的学术培训，包括一系列大学水平的课程和评估。完成AP课程可能会给学生带来宝贵的经验，而大学学分通常是通过在年底考试中取得成功来获得的。1本简介评估了与学区贫困、种族组成和城市化（见第4页框2）有关的AP课程的入学、注册和成功趋势（见第2页框1）。它使用的数据来自2011- 2012年民权数据收集（CRDC），2012年小地区收入和贫困估计（SAIPE）和2010年十年一度的美国人口普查。这些数据仅反映了地区一级的AP接入、注册和成功。因此，不可能从这一分析中得出关于个别学生或学校一级趋势的结论。请注意，在检查AP入学和成功时，我们只考虑那些提供AP课程的地区。
The call for college and career readiness pervades state and federal policy initiatives, reflecting a growing sense that an increasing number of high school graduates are underprepared for the demands of postsecondary education. Despite the push for high, common standards, high school students engage in very different curricula in terms of both content and rigor. Advanced Placement (AP) coursework offers high school students more intense academic training, consisting of a series of college-level courses and assessments. Completing AP coursework may give students valuable experience, and college credit is often earned through success on end-of-year examinations.1 This brief assesses trends in access to, enrollment in, and success in AP coursework (see Box 1 on page 2) in relation to school district poverty, racial composition, and urbanicity (see Box 2 on page 4). It uses data merged from the 2011– 2012 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), the 2012 Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE), and the 2010 Decennial U.S. Census. These data reflect AP access, enrollment, and success only at the district level. Consequently, it is not possible to draw conclusions about individual students or school-level trends from this analysis. Note that when examining AP enrollment and success, we consider only those districts that offer some access to AP coursework.
