AP U.S. history coursetaking was higher in 2009 than in 1990,
regardless of school minority status. However, in 2009, a
lower percentage of graduates in low minority schools completed an AP course in U.S. history than those in schools with higher concentrations of minority students.
* Significantly different (p < .05) from 2009.
NOTE: Low minority = Schools with less than 10 percent minority students. Medium minority = Schools with 10 to 49 percent minority students. High minority = Schools with 50 percent or more minority students.
