I’m glad this study has been released and look forward to reading it; the “we’ve brought more AP courses into secondary schools” mantra is popular among urban school reformers, mostly because they get credit for setting up the courses. Later, when the results are released, they either don’t get publicized or the leader who set up the classes is gone. Sounds great — we’ve started 80+ AP courses — but does it really matter when neither the students nor the pupils have been set up to succeed?
