Nevada AP scores above national average
By Meghin Delaney, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Nevada students appear to have broken the code in at least one education measure.
A new report released Wednesday by the College Board shows that 22.5 percent of Nevada high school students passed advanced placement exams, slightly higher than the national average.
Nationwide, 21.9 percent of students who take the placement exams earn a score of three or higher, on a scale of one to five. Massachusetts led the nation with 31 percent of students passing the courses.
