This chart lets you compare, by race, the percentage of students enrolled in your high school, with the percentage enrolled in at least one AP class. If, for instance, Hispanics represented 25 percent of the student body but 20 percent of AP students, there would have been a participation gap of 5 percentage points. You can also compare AP participation rates to your school district, state and the U.S., by clicking on the categories below.

Percentages are based on the most recent student enrollment numbers (2011-12) in the Office of Civil Rights data collection.*
