Advancing STEM AP Final Report
Introduction
Introduction
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) is engaged in numerous initiatives
to increase the college and career readiness of students in the Commonwealth, to reduce proficiency gaps and
improve academic achievement for all population groups, and to enhance the “STEM pipeline” of students who
are interested in and well prepared for postsecondary education and careers in science, technology, mathematics,
and engineering.
One of these initiatives is the Advancing STEM through an Advanced Placement® Science and Mathematics
program (hereafter “the program” or the “Advancing STEM AP program”). The goals of the program are to:
1. Increase AP science and mathematics course availability, particularly at schools with limited AP science
and mathematics offerings and high percentages of low-income and minority students;
2. Increase access to and participation in AP science and mathematics courses, particularly for students from
ethnic, racial, gender, English proficiency, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally
underserved, so the demographics of these courses better reflect the diversity of the student population of
the school and district;
3. Increase student achievement in AP science and mathematics courses, particularly to close Massachusetts
academic achievement gaps;
4. Increase readiness for college-level study in STEM fields;
5. Improve science and mathematics teacher effectiveness, including content knowledge and pedagogical
skills; and
6. Increase student interest in pursuing a STEM degree or a STEM-related career after high school.
In order to meet these program goals and track efforts to improve student achievement, ESE contracted with the
Mass Insight Education’s Mass Math + Science Initiative (MMSI) as a vendor to implement tasks and
responsibilities aligned with the purposes of the program. The implementation of the statewide Advancing STEM
AP program involves four key central tasks to be implemented in 61 partner schools:
1. Increase participation in AP science and mathematics courses, particularly among underserved
populations;
2. Increase performance in AP science and mathematics courses, particularly among underserved
populations;
3. Increase the number of new and/or additional AP science and mathematics courses offered by the partner
districts and schools;
4. Work in conjunction with statewide Race to the Top (RTTT) pre-AP teacher training program to align
efforts of both programs in those districts participating in both programs.
In their work to complete these tasks, MMSI was responsible for a variety of activities including: maintaining
partnerships with schools with high percentages of minority and low income students, encouraging recruitment of
minority and low income students into AP science and mathematics classes, educating stakeholders about the
benefits of the AP program and STEM careers, assisting districts in eliminating barriers to STEM AP courses
faced by typically underserved students, conducting extracurricular study sessions and test preparation sessions,
providing exam fee subsidies to low income students, supporting professional development for STEM AP
teachers, supporting teacher attendance at the College Board’s AP summer institute, encouraging curriculum
alignment, providing guidance and funds for equipment in new or expanded STEM AP courses, monitoring

Introduction
teacher effectiveness and fidelity to the implementation of the program, and assisting vertical teams of grade 6–10
pre-AP trained science and mathematics teachers and STEM AP teachers.
ESE contracted with the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI) to conduct the first year of a
potential three-year evaluation of the Advancing STEM AP program. The goals of the first year evaluation are to
inform immediate programming and to prepare for two following years of data collection and evaluation in the
event that additional funding is available to continue the research.
Analysis of the data collected during this first year is intended to yield findings regarding:


Professional development and support offered to new and existing teachers of science, mathematics, and
English at schools that participate in the Advancing STEM AP program, as well as intended increases in
knowledge and pedagogical skills among these teachers;
Strategies used to increase science and mathematics AP course availability, and to identify and encourage
participation of typically underserved students in these courses.
The interim report submitted in August 2013 described findings from the initial evaluation activities that were
conducted during the first year of the project: interviews with ESE and MMSI personnel, a teacher survey, and
analysis of MMSI teacher training participation data.
This final report describes the extent to which AP courses are offered in schools served by the Advancing STEM
AP program, student participation in these schools and courses, and AP exam participation and passing rates.
It is important to note that the results provided in this report are intended to provide insight into the Advancing
STEM AP sites for the year of UMDI’s external program evaluation. These results do not include data collected
in the years of prior program implementation and so, perhaps, do not give the most complete picture of the
advancements in STEM AP measures since the program’s inception.

Methodology
Methodology
Evaluation Design
This evaluation study uses a mixed-method design. The interim report focused on quantitative information
gathered through a teacher survey and teacher training participation data provided by the vendor, as well as
qualitative data drawn from interviews of key personnel and open-ended survey items. Those findings informed
the following research questions:




What support has been provided for district efforts to offer additional AP courses?
What professional development has been offered to current and newly recruited AP teachers?
Have STEM teachers who received professional development increased their knowledge and pedagogical
skills relevant to increasing student success in AP courses and exams?
What strategies have been used to increase AP course availability, identify underrepresented students, and
encourage them to take AP courses?
The final portion of the first year evaluation, described in this final report, includes quantitative analysis of data to
inform the number and type of AP courses offered by the schools included in the Advancing STEM AP initiative,
the number of students taking and passing those courses, and the number of students taking and passing AP
exams. The findings address the following research questions:





Has availability of AP science and mathematics courses increased, particularly in schools with limited
offerings?
Has participation in AP science and mathematics courses increased, particularly by students in typically
underserved populations?
Has successful AP course completion increased among students in typically underserved populations?
Has AP exam participation of underrepresented students increased?
Have AP exam scores of underrepresented students increased?
Based on the findings from interviews and educator surveys described in the interim report, it became clear that
English language arts (ELA) courses and teachers are an integral part of the Advancing STEM AP initiative.
Thus, ELA has also been included in this portion of the study. All analyses of AP course availability, AP course
participation, and AP exam taking and passing include ELA, math, and science.
In collaboration with ESE, the determination was made to use SY 2011–2012 (SY12) as baseline year for this
evaluation. Thus, the first year evaluation is able to compare data from the baseline to the Year 1, SY 2012–2013
(SY13) data.
The research questions described above are based on the logic model depicted in Figure 1.

Data Collection Activities
The data to address the last set of research questions for this final report comprise large data sets as described
below.
ESE Databases
UMDI submitted an ISA to ESE to obtain data from the following student-level and teacher-level databases for
SY12 and SY13:




Advanced Placement (AP)
Student Information Management System (SIMS)
Student Course Schedule (SCS)
Education Personnel Information Management System (EPIMS)
MMSI Database
MMSI provided UMDI with a database of all schools that have participated in the Advancing STEM AP
initiative. The database includes school, district, MMSI cohort, and ESE school code. This database includes 69
schools that have worked in this program with MMSI since 2008. However, this evaluation includes only the 48
schools that participated in both SY12 and SY13.

Advancing STEM AP Final Report
Methodology
Data Analysis
The data were initially analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data for all schools involved in the Advancing STEM
AP intervention were extracted for analysis. Data from the MMSI database were merged. Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) was used to test for statistically significant differences with some aggregated data.
Advanced Placement (AP) databases were merged with SIMS data to provide variables for subgroup analysis.
Students who took an AP exam in ELA, math, or science were included in the analysis.
SCS databases were also merged with demographic variables from SIMS. The number of unique ELA, math, and
science courses and course sections offered overall and in each district was identified based on a combination of
the SCS course location, course code, and section number. Sections offered at colleges or online are not included
in section counts. To identify students who were enrolled in AP courses, as well as those who completed, passed,
and earned credit for the courses, variables were created to track levels of participation.
All data were analyzed using a statistical software package (SPSS).

This section contains the findings related to Advanced Placement (AP) course offerings, participation in AP
courses, and AP exam taking and passing.
AP Course Offerings
AP course offerings were determined using data from ESE’s Student Course Schedule databases for SY12 and
SY13. Across all schools in the Advancing STEM AP program, the number of courses offered in ELA, math, and
science did not change from 2012 to 2013 in most schools; however, the number of sections offered in all three
areas increased from 2012 to 2013. This increase in the number of sections may be an indication of increased
access to already existing AP courses.
In ELA, while the number of courses decreased by one, from 84 to 83, the number of sections increased from 188
to 201. The number of math courses increased slightly, from 96 to 101, and the number of sections offered
increased from 145 to 161. Science course offerings decreased from 2012 to 2013, from 101 to 100 courses, while
course sections increased from 144 to 163.
Results by school are fairly stable across years, although some schools have expanded capacity, mostly by adding
sections to already existing courses. In some cases, schools added courses or sections in one area but dropped
some in other areas. For example, Agawam High School increased ELA sections for their 2 courses from 7 to 10,
increased science sections from 5 to 6 (for the same 3 courses), but decreased math sections from 6 to 4 (for the
same 3 courses). Attleboro High School increased ELA sections for their 2 courses from 5 to 10, but decreased
the number of science courses from 3 to 2 and the number sections from 5 to 3. Dedham High School increased
the number of math sections by 3 (for the same 2 courses) and science sections by from 3 to 4, but ELA dropped
one section.
Some schools were able to increase AP course offerings without sacrificing in another area. For example, East
Boston High School increased both the number of courses and sections for math and the number of sections in
science, while not changing ELA. Danvers High School increased the number of math sections by 2. Nipmuc
Regional High School (Mendon-Upton Regional District) increased the number of math courses from 1 to 2 and
the number of sections from 1 to 3. Middleboro High School increased the number of math courses from 2 to 3
and the number of science sections (for 2 courses) from 2 to 6. Northbridge High School increased the number of
ELA sections from 3 to 4 and the number of science sections from 3 to 5. South Hadley High School increased
ELA sections from 5 to 7, math sections from 3 to 4 and science sections from 3 to 5. Springfield High School of
Science and Technology increased science courses from 2 to 3 and sections from 2 to 6. West Springfield
increased both math courses and sections from 1 to 3, and science sections from 3 to 4. Winthrop High School
increased the number of math sections from 2 to 4, the number of science courses from 2 to 3, and the number of
science sections from 4 to 5. Worcester’s North High School increased ELA course sections from 8 to 12 and
math sections from 9 to 12.
All results by school are shown in Table 1.

Advancing STEM AP Final Report
AP Course Participation
AP course participation data come from ESE’s SCS databases for SY12 and SY13.
AP course participation for students in Advancing STEM AP schools is shown in Tables 2–4. The tables display
the number of students who enrolled, completed, passed, and earned credit in at least one AP course during these
two years by high-need and non-high need students, by gender, and by race/ethnicity. “High-need students”
include English Language Learners (ELLs), former ELLs, low income students, and students with disabilities.
Percentages are based on all students enrolled in Advancing STEM AP schools (48,287 in SY12; 43,600 in
SY13).
Table 2 shows participation in AP courses in SY12 and SY13 for all students, as well as participation
disaggregated for high-needs and non-high-needs students. The number and percentage of students who have
enrolled, completed, passed, and earned credit have increased by approximately 3 percentage points in each
category from 2012 to 2013. These differences for all schools combined are statistically significant with regard to
enrollment, completion, and passing AP courses (p<.05); although not statistically significant with regard to
earning credit (p=.079), the difference does appear to be meaningful. It is notable, however, that while all groups
have increased by approximately 3 percentage points, the differences in high-needs and non-high-needs students
are very large, with non-high needs students 10 to 12 percentage points higher in each category (enrolled,
completed, passed, earned credit) than high-needs students.

Table 4 shows AP course participation by race/ethnicity. Asians have the highest participation, with
approximately one-fourth of that population participating. The Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders were
also high in 2012, but dropped in 2013. The next highest participation level came from white students with 17
percent participation in 2013 (up from 13.6 percent in 2012). Black or African Americans and American Indian or
Alaska Natives participated at a rate of nearly 13 percent in 2013. The lowest participation in AP courses is for
Hispanic/Latinos with 8.7 percent in 2013 (up from 6.6 percent).

AP Exam Taking and Passing
AP exam taking and passing for schools in the Advancing STEM AP program were determined using ESE’s AP
database merged with the SIMS database. This section presents data about students taking and passing exams as a
percentage of both the total populations of participating schools (number taking or passing divided by all
students) and the number of exam takers in these schools (number passing divided by the number of exam takers).
Specifically, analysis of AP exam taking and passing in this section includes:
(1) Percentages of students who take and pass (as defined by a score of 3 or greater) an AP exam out of the
total population of students in the schools. These calculations are shown in columns of the tables labeled
as “% Taking Exam” and “% of All Scoring ≥ 3.” Both of these designations use the same denominator in
the calculations: total student population in Advancing STEM AP schools.
(2) Percentage of students taking an AP exam, referred to as “exam takers” who pass the exam. These
calculations are shown in the column of the tables as “% Takers Scoring ≥ 3.” This designation uses the
denominator: students who actually took an AP exam in the schools.
Analyses show results disaggregated by high-needs versus non-high-needs students, by gender, and by
race/ethnicity.
Overall, the percentage of students at Advancing STEM AP schools taking and passing exams has increased,
while the percentage of exam takers who passing exams has decreased. The percentage of students taking and
passing AP exams is higher for non-high-needs students than high-needs students. Exam taking is higher for
females than males; however, the percentage of exam takers who pass is higher for males than for females.
Table 5 summarizes the overall statistics for AP exam taking and passing by subject, as well as for those who
have taken at least one exam (ELA/math/science), disaggregated by high-needs versus non-high-needs students.
Both high-needs and non-high-needs columns include the number of students taking the exam along with the
percentage of all students in each subgroup population. Also included is the percentage of exam takers who
passed, scoring a 3 or greater on the exam. In the final column in each subgroup is the percentage of students in
the subgroup who passed based on the total participating population.

for ELA exams, Table B-3 for math exams, and Table B-4 science exams.
Table 6 summarizes the overall statistics for exam taking and passing by subject, as well as for those who have
taken at least one exam (ELA/math/science), disaggregated by gender. Both female and male columns include the
number of students taking the exam along with the percentage of all students in each subgroup population. Also
included is the percentage of exam takers who passed and, in the final column in each subgroup, the percentage of
students in the subgroup who passed based on the total participating population. As noted earlier, AP exam taking
is overall higher for females than males, although the gap is not as large on math and science exams. However,
the percentage of students who take an exam and pass is higher for males than for females.

school. Table C-1 includes results for taking at least one exam (ELA/math/science), Table C-2 for ELA exams,
Table C-3 for math exams, and Table C-4 for science exams.
Tables 7–10 show overall AP exam taking and passing data by race/ethnicity for those taking at least one exam
(ELA/math/science) and individually for ELA, math, and science. The number of students in the Advancing
STEM AP schools has decreased from 2012 (48,287) to 2013 (43,600), so the numbers and percentages do not
always tell the same story.
Table 7 includes students who have taken at least one AP course in ELA, math, or science. Overall, the
percentage of students taking an AP exam has increased from 2012 to 2013 by 3 percent. Within different
racial/ethnic groups the variation between the years is within 2 to 4 percentage points; most groups increased,
though the American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander groups decreased.
However, the numbers in these groups are very small to start. The percentage of students who took at least one
AP exam and passed has, on the whole, decreased nearly 3 percentage points This decrease is true for white and
Hispanic/Latino groups (although the number of passers has increased for white students). Black/African
American, Asian, and American Indian/Alaska Native have increased the percentage of exam takers who passed.
Overall, the percentage of students in most racial/ethnic groups who passed based on the total participating
population has increased by 1 to 2 percentage points.

Conclusion
Conclusion
It appears that many of the interventions in Advancing STEM AP schools are yielding increases in Advanced
Placement course availability, student participation, and overall numbers of students taking and passing an AP
exam in ELA, math, and science.
The following discussion is organized into sections based on the research questions for this portion of the study.
Availability of AP Courses in ELA, Math, and Science
Overall, the number of courses offered in Advancing STEM AP schools in ELA, math, and science did not
change from SY12 to SY13 in most schools; however, the number of sections offered in all three subject areas
increased. This increase in the number of sections may be an indication of increased access to already existing AP
courses.
Some schools showed increases in courses or sections in one area, but the total number was offset by decreases in
another area. Other schools were able to increase their overall number of courses and/or sections without
sacrificing in any of the other areas.
AP Course Participation
The number and percentage of students who have enrolled, completed, passed, and earned credit have shown an
increase in each category from SY12 to SY13. These differences for all schools combined are statistically
significant with regard to enrollment, completion, and passing AP courses; although not statistically significant
with regard to earning credit, the difference appears to be meaningful.
While all subgroups have increased participation, there is a large gap between high-needs and non-high-needs
students in each category (enrolled, completed, passed, earned credit). Both males and females have increased
participation in AP courses from SY12 to SY13; however, there is a small gap, with females participating to a
larger extent than males. All racial subgroups increased participation in AP courses from SY12 to SY13, with the
exception of Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders. It should be noted that the population numbers in this
subgroup are very small. The highest participation came from Asians, followed by Native Hawaiian/Pacific
Islanders, whites, and Black or African Americans and American Indian/Alaska Natives, who were close in
participation. Hispanic/Latinos had the lowest participation.
AP Exam Participation
Overall, a larger percentage of students are taking and passing AP exams across all participating Advancing
STEM AP schools. This is seen across all AP areas (ELA, math, and science) and most subgroups—including
high-needs, non-high-needs, females, males, and racial subgroups.
At the same time, the percentage of exam takers who pass—as defined by a score of 3 or greater—has decreased
in ELA and mathematics. This is seen across all schools and most subgroups. Conversely, the percentage of those
students who take a science exam and pass has slightly increased across all schools and most subgroups.
While more students in participating schools are taking and passing the exams based on the total population, it is
not clear why the percentage of exam takers who passed ELA and mathematics exams has decreased. One

Conclusion
explanation could be that the larger numbers of students taking the exam are less well prepared. Because of this
relatively new approach of reaching beyond the traditional group of high-achieving students who generally
participate in AP courses and exams, it is possible that students who are coming to the program do not have as
strong a background. So, while recruiting a larger group of students to participate in AP courses and exams has
been successful and has raised the overall participation and pass rates, the effective preparation of students new to
this world of AP courses and exams has yet to be realized.
While all underrepresented groups have increased AP exam taking and passing, there is a large gap between highneeds and non-high-needs students on all AP exams in ELA, math, and science. This includes percentages of the
whole school population, as well as the percentages of exam takers who pass. All racial groups also show an
increase in the percentage of students from the school population taking at least one AP exam, with the exception
of Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders (again with a very small population). However, there are gaps by
subgroup, with Asians highest, then white and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders, and lastly with Black or
African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic/Latino groups participating least. Interestingly,
Black or African Americans and American Indian/Alaska Natives increased the percentage of exam takers who
passed at least one AP exam.
Both males and females have increased participation in AP exam taking and passing from SY12 to SY13. There is
a small gap in math and science exams, with females participating to a larger extent than males, and a larger gap
in ELA exams, with females both taking and passing the exams twice as often as males. Interestingly, the
percentage of exam takers who pass is larger for males than for females.
***********
Based on the findings presented in this report, there is considerable evidence that access to ELA, math, and
science AP courses offered in Advancing STEM AP schools has increased from SY12 to SY13. In addition,
student participation in these AP courses (enrolling, completing, passing, and earning credit) has expanded in that
same period. Thus, it appears that MMSI has been successful in implementing core components of the Advancing
STEM AP program. Two areas can benefit from additional attention: maintaining or increasing the AP pass rates,
particularly in math and ELA, and accelerating the rate of participation and success of high-need and minority
students.
