But the superintendent of one of those districts said the magazine applied faulty data that may have ranked it too high at 99. The data just doesn t seem to jive with what we have, said Dover s Superintendent James McLaughlin. I don t want to take any honors that may be based on bad data.
McLaughlin, who took the post in 2019, said the magazine s 2021 report, based on 2018-19 school-year data, indicated the district had 52% of students take at least one AP exam that year. But that s not correct, he said. Based on our data, we had 23% of the kids take it.
