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
In Oklahoma, a relatively high percentage of all students are enrolled in Advanced Placement, but the state has the highest disparity between high and low-poverty schools among all states. State Superintendent, Janet Barresi, acknowledged the gap and said that closing it is one of her top priorities.
“You don’t have to convince me that that gap needs to be closed,” said Barresi, who founded two charter schools in the state. “One of my pet phrases is, ‘Poverty doesn’t make you stupid.’ It’s not a causative factor.”
