U.S. News only publishes actual AP (per an agreement with the College Board) or IB test result data for high schools that have a college-readiness-index score of greater than or equal 20. In other words, U.S. News is only publishing AP data for the schools that are either gold or silver, or for 561 schools plus the 37 honorable mention schools. However, around 350 of 1,189 schools that have earned a bronze medal offer AP or IB courses.
