Arkansas high schools would be required to
offer Advanced Placement math, English, science and social studies
courses under a bill passed by the House Education Committee today.
The national Advanced Placement program allows students to take
classes in high school for college credit if they score high enough
on an end-of-course test. State education officials say the bill
would ensure that all Arkansas students had access to the advanced
classes.
She said more than 14-hundred Arkansas students qualified for
Advanced Placement calculus last year but only 400 of them attended
a school that offered the class.
