TRANFORMING SCHOOLS INTO
CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE
NMSI’s programs are transforming partner schools into district and state leaders in academic performance. The following highlights are based on Advanced Placement data from The College Board through 2016.
In 2017, Pennsylvania's Trinity Area High School had a 186 percent increase in qualifying math, science and English scores, making it No. 1 among the more than 5,000 U.S. schools that had at least 50 qualifying scores in the 2015-16 school year. The state's Kiski Area High School had a 185 percent increase, making it second in the country among those same 5,000 schools.
Dallas ISD leads the nation in the number of math and science AP qualifying scores earned by African-American and Hispanic students per 1,000 African-American and Hispanic juniors and seniors.
Since NMSI’s statewide partnership with Alabama began in 2008, the state has consistently ranked #1 in the nation in the percentage increase in students earning qualifying scores on AP math, science and English exams.
NMSI partner schools see sustained positive student outcomes: Two years after completing the College Readiness Program, they maintain 99% of their gains in AP qualifying scores earned in math, science and English.
