A larger, more racially diverse pool of public high school students in the 2006 graduating class took Advanced Placement courses compared with the class of 2000, and more passed a standardized exam in at least one subject, a report says. Nearly 15% of 2006 public high school graduates earned a passing grade on an AP exam, compared with 14% in 2005 and 10% in the class of 2000, the report says.
