AP Access for All is excited to celebrate significant progress and growth in the start of the 2024-2025 school year as we continue to expand access to advanced learning opportunities across Tennessee. With a record 2,156 students enrolled in AP courses this fall from 203 high schools statewide, APAA has strengthened its presence in rural and urban areas alike. Our team of 108 dedicated teachers are covering 21 distinct subject areas, giving students greater choice and flexibility in their learning journeys. This semester, we’ve reached a new milestone, with 51% of all eligible high schools in Tennessee and 47% of rural schools having at least one student enrolled in APAA courses, underscoring our commitment to broadening access for all students.

APAA Enrollment Increases by 35%

In this report, we highlight four outstanding students, each representing a unique region of our state, whose stories exemplify the resilience and dedication our students bring to their studies. By spotlighting their experiences, we aim to showcase the power of accessible AP education for Tennessee students from all backgrounds.

We are incredibly grateful for the strong partnerships and unwavering support that have made this growth possible. Our deep appreciation goes to the Tennessee Department of Education, the Niswonger Foundation, our partnering high schools, and our exceptional APAA teachers, whose hard work and dedication are the backbone of our program. Together, we look forward to continuing our mission of expanding access to quality AP courses for even more Tennessee students in the years ahead.
