Maybe the release of this info is state or district specific? Im not sure now where Ive seen it. Our district has some sort of incentive for teachers based upon their students AP scores, though I dont know what sort. Its definitely a point of pride with both teachers and the school, and I guess I have been taking it for granted. I also underestimated the value of taking some of these classes- not necessarily for the credit (that was mostly a bust for us) but for the opportunities to skip basic or introductory classes.
