Nearly a decade ago, ProPublica’s landmark Miseducation project put a number to something educators had long known: nationally, white students are 1.8 times as likely as Black students — and 1.3 times as likely as Hispanic students — to be enrolled in an Advanced Placement class. It was a striking snapshot, drawn from a single year of federal civil rights data, 2015-16. ‍ ‍

Today, as students head back to school, we’re releasing a tool that turns that snapshot into a decade-long picture. The AdvancED Equity Interactive Dashboard makes racial/ethnic disparities in AP course access and enrollment visible and comparable across school districts in the country, from 2011 to 2021.

Today, we introduce and release the H-CRDC-V2.0 a harmonized dataset spanning the universe CRDC collections from 2011-12 to 2021-22.
