INDIANAPOLIS — The state Department of Education says a quarter of Indiana students should pass at least one Advanced Placement exam before graduating high school.
State schools chief Tony Bennett says too many Indiana students don't take advantage of the rigorous academic opportunities available to them.
He says he wants least 25 percent of graduates to pass at least one AP exam or International Baccalaureate exam, or earn at least three semester hours of college credit during high school.
Only 12 Indiana schools currently meet that new measurement benchmark. Because students only count once under the formula regardless of how many AP exams they pass, schools must get more students to take and pass AP tests to move closer to the 25 percent goal.
