2009 Advanced Placement (AP) Results for Bay Area Schools
| Educational Testing - High School Scores (SAT, ACT, AP) |
On May 18, the California Department of Education (CDE) published information on 2008-2009 Advanced Placement (AP) testing by school. While not as detailed as many of their other testing statistics, but it does help to paint a picture of which schools are more college preparatory than others.
The original datasets can be found at: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sp/ai/
I've sorted the information just for the Bay Area and added the city information too.
The top Bay Area schools sorted by the percent of tests with scores of 4 or higher are:
