The Iowa AP Index

The Iowa AP Index is an indicator of Advanced Placement (AP^®) opportunities for Iowa students.

The Iowa AP Index recognizes accredited public and non-public Iowa high schools for providing AP opportunities and applauds students for their willingness to step up to the academic challenge.

The Index is released to the public in May of every year. To view the Iowa AP Index from 2005 to 2011, including a summary table of changes in the Top 50 schools over time, visit the Iowa AP Index Website.

These students are found in every type of school, from public to private to alternative.
