The Herald News reports here that a grant from the Massachusetts Math and Science Initiative has doubled the number of their students who are taking advanced placement (AP) courses. In the article Assistant Superintendent Victor Capellan said
“Not only does this grant provide our district with an infusion of close to $700,000 over the next five years, but more importantly it provides an additional vehicle for students to succeed, we are already seeing the results, and our students are already reaping the benefits of this partnership.”I hope that Dartmouth can join this program in the future.
A previous attempt to implement it was nixed by the teachers union as I posted here.

You need to put the Fall River School Department into context. The school system over there is so bad that it's on the verge of being taken over by the state education department.
