Quality


In Florida, 31.7 percent of 2018 public high school graduates scored a 3 or higher on an Advanced Placement (AP) exam during high school, compared to 32.9 percent in Massachusetts and 32.2 percent in Connecticut. The national average is 23.5 percent.

This success is even more notable, because Florida serves a significantly higher population of low-income students than Connecticut and Massachusetts, as well as the national average.
