The AP/IB course enrollment rate increased from 47.6% in 2022 to 48.4% in 2023 and went up to 49.3% in 2024. Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) high school students took 40,448 AP exams in 2024, an increase of 7,157 from 2022. The percentage of AP exams taken by students achieving a score of 3 or higher was 76.0% in 2024, a 3.6 percentage-point increase from 2022.
