1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Advanced Coursework Equity Act . 2. Purpose The purposes of this Act are— (1) to expand access to advanced courses and programs at under-resourced elementary and secondary schools; (2) to advance equitable enrollment practices, so that all students who are ready to engage in more rigorous coursework can benefit from advanced courses and programs; and (3) to equip dramatically more students, especially students from historically underrepresented groups, with the twenty-first century skills needed to succeed in college and a competitive global workforce. 3. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Black, Latino, and Native American students, students with disabilities, and students from low-income families are underrepresented in advanced programs and courses. (2) While 1 in 10 students in schools in the United States participate in the Advanced Placement (AP) program, just over 1 in 20 low-income, Black, and Native American students participate in Advanced Placement, and fewer than 1 in 50 students with disabilities participate. (3) Taking the mathematics course Algebra I in grade 8 is necessary for most students to be on track for enrolling in advanced courses, such as Calculus, in high school
