Marisol J. C. Kevelson; Catherine M. Millett; Carly Slutzky; Stephanie R. Saunders – ETS Research Report Series, 2023
This study explores the extent to which student, family, peer, and school factors predict (a) whether students take "Advanced Placement®" ("AP®") courses, International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, and dual enrollment courses and (b) in models limited to course takers, how many courses they completed. Our findings, based on a…
