Advanced Placement (AP) reports for the 2006-07 school year for the district and individual schools are now available on the Research and Reporting web page at http://studata.sandi.net/research/ap. These reports display results for Grades 10-12 test takers, AP course enrollments, and AP tests taken. These district-generated reports may differ from other published reports due to data cleaning procedures in which student-level records received from the College Board are validated using district and AP course enrollment records.

Student Summary Reports include the following data for Grades 10-12 students:
1. Total students enrolled in the district
2. Number and percentage of students who enrolled in an AP course
3. Number of students enrolled in an AP course who took an AP test and percentage of AP course enrollees
who took an AP test

subgroups (ethnicity, English language proficiency, gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price meals, AVID status,

the demographic subgroups for individual schools and the district as a whole.

AP Course Enrollment Summary Reports include the following data for Grades 10-12 students:

Demographic Subgroup: Districtwide and Individual Schools" reports present these data for various demographic
subgroups (ethnicity, English language proficiency, gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price meals, AVID status,
and gifted-identified status) for individual schools and the district as a whole.

AP Test Summary Reports include the following data for Grades 10-12 students:

1. Number and percentage of AP tests taken with and without a corresponding AP course enrollment
2. Number and percentage of AP tests passed with and without a corresponding AP course enrollment

"By School: Districtwide" reports present these data by AP test for individual schools and the district as a whole;

school by AP test; "By School: Districtwide, AP Tests with a Corresponding AP Course" and "By School:
Districtwide, AP Tests Without a Corresponding AP Course" present data similar to "By School: Districtwide" in a
different format.
