The statistics are for students who actually take an advanced placement test. Not all students who register for an Advanced Placement (AP) class and receive high school credit take the AP test. Even without the taking the AP test, the student will still receive rewards in the form of motivation and challenge, the advantage of an AP designation on the course transcripts, as well as preparation for future college courses. The College Board has 31 courses, including such areas as foreign language, math, science, and economics. 
Data by school is available at the Condition of Children web site.
