This report has nothing to do with how well the CA schools are educating their students. it merely counts the percentage of kids taking the AP/IB etc. They do not even have to pass. They are no longer even chosen to be in AP by the school – the parents choose.
Dont let those numbers fool you.
This report is more about equal opportunity than anything else and should be viewed as that…. They are reporting which schools are most inclusionary in their toughest classes. It is a worthy idea, but in no way does this report have anything to do with successful schools and which are producing high achievers.
