Extended Learning Program

Advanced learning students who attend the Extended Learning Program (ELP) are more likely to take Advanced Placement (AP) tests Only 58.6% of public high schools in Utah offer AP classes, below the national average of 60.4%, but 48.9% offer multiple courses, which is above the national average of 42.3%.

ELPers also tend to score higher on AP tests as they effectively have a head start on college. Passed AP tests (3 or higher) will count as full credit at the University of Utah and likely other colleges. This can significantly decrease the cost of college.

Students with high marks on AP and International Baccalaureate (IB) tests can leave high school with an Associate's Degree completely for free through the Honors at Entrance scholarship- save the cost of books.

Until all public schools offer AP or equivalent tests, America- and Utah in particular- will continue to experience educational inequity.
