The College Board data show persistent gaps by race and income in reading proficiency and top performance across grades four, eight and eleven. Asian and white students outperform Black and Hispanic peers, while AP participation remains heavily white and higher-income.
The article examines the AP test gap in race groups, noting 820,880 nationwide test takers last May with white students forming the majority. It highlights Cedar Rapids and Iowa efforts to address the larger equity issue, including resource reallocation, early education access, and community involvement led by educators and local figures.
Joy Mims and Shannon Wright, two African-American students at Cedar Rapids Washington High, describe the impact of TAP, a program for minority students to raise reading, test taking and college planning skills.
