Use AP classes to increase the acceptance and college graduation rate of all Hillcrest students
Partner with students, parents and community organizations to provide support for our AP students

6. Benefits
Students who take AP courses and exams are much more likely than their peers to complete a college degree on time. Only one in four students who enter college complete a bachelor’s degree in four years.* A recent study** showed that students taking AP courses and exams were much more likely to earn a college degree in four years. For example, AP English Literature students had four-year college graduation rates that were 62% higher than students that had not taken AP English Literature.
C. Banks explains her role at the school, shares her AP experience at Uof I, explains benefits slide

The typical college cost per year for a four-year public institution is $8,142 for in-state students and $19,670 for out-of-state students.*
Students attending private institutions might expect to incur $27,389 for each additional year it takes to earn a bachelor’s degree.*
