We collaborate with school districts to increase equitable enrollment in AP and IB classes, so more students can excel.
Equal Opportunity Schools has helped more than 330 schools identify low-income students and students of color who qualify for, but are missing from AP or IB classes. Working together, we successfully enroll them and support their academic success.
Three-quarters of a million high school students are ready to be enrolled.Each year, approximately three-quarters of a million incoming juniors and seniors are ready to be enrolled in rigorous academic programs. Unfortunately, low-income students and students of color are not being engaged at the same rate as their peers. We help schools get them enrolled and ensure their success.
Access to AP/IB has a lasting impact.Increasing the number of low-income students and students of color who enroll in rigorous classes leads to more of those students graduating and attending college. This is one of most resource-effective strategies for tackling the classroom equity gap.
Equal Opportunity Schools has worked with schools coast-to-coast to help more than 30,000 U.S. high school students—and counting—succeed in rigorous academic programs.
