This database was last updated in January 2013 and should only be used as a historical snapshot of data from the 2009-10 school year. For more recent data on public and charter schools, check out Miseducation.
ProPublica analyzed federal education data from the 2009-2010 school year to examine whether states provide high-poverty schools equal access to advanced courses and special programs that researchers say will help them later in life. This is the first nationwide picture of exactly which courses are being taken at which schools and districts across the country. More than three-quarters of all public school children are represented. Read our story and our methodology.

Key Findings
Florida has the highest percentage of students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses and has a fairly even distribution of enrollment across high or low-poverty schools.
A decade ago, the state introduced a partnership with the College Board, which administers AP programs, to “blanket” the state with AP courses. The program was directed to traditionally under-served groups, including minorities and low-income students. According to data from the College Board, the percentage of students taking AP exams that were low-income has doubled since 2006. (See our main story.)
