Student Demographics (Salem, NH)

The Department of Education's Civil Rights Data Collection periodically publishes data on the racial make-up of students taking AP classes in districts around the country.

In 2017, the data for the Salem School District showed that both white and Asian students were slightly over-represented in AP courses. You can see this in the data below because the right-hand column is larger than the left-hand column, indicating that these students are more common in AP courses than they are in the overall student body.

Black and Hispanic students, meanwhile, were under-represented.

Total enrollments by race: White (1,000), Asian (43), Hispanic (93), Black (17), Am-Ind/AK Native (4), Native HI or Pac Islander (0). This graph excludes data on students reporting multiple races.
