@ctmirror @achievmentfirst Dual-Enrollment no AP is the way to increase access to college

All students should have access to AP courses, and I am living proof by Brian Ozenne (CT Viewpoints)

I took my first advanced placement class – world history—when I was a sophomore in high school. This year, I’m a junior currently taking three AP courses. Next year, I’ll take four more. As a student of color who lives in Hartford, this makes me unique. It doesn’t have to. Studies have shown that students of color and students from low-income communities do not have fair access to Advanced Placement classes. That’s true in nearby New York, right here in Connecticut, and across the country. I am proof of what happens when that access is granted.
