Through student, teacher and schools supports, this three-year program dramatically increases the number of students taking and earning qualifying scores on Advanced Placement math, science and English exams. NMSI has a proven track record of improving results for traditionally underrserved and female students. In addition, AP students who score a 3 or higher on AP exams are more likely to earn a college degree on time, which can save students and families both time and money.
To date, the College Readiness Program has reached more than 1,400 public high schools across 36 states and D.C. and produced unparalleled positive student outcomes across a variety of settings — urban and rural, disadvantaged and affluent, traditional and charter. Through its Military Families Mission, NMSI is also ensuring that students of our nation’s service members have access to consistent, high-quality educational opportunities whenever or wherever their families may be transferred.
