# of AP students for the15-16 academic year
No student to be on AP this Fall. As a result we expect that no student will disqualify at the end of fall 2015.
When we use fall 2014 numbers, we can forecast as many as 900 students will be on AP at the end of the fall semester. This is of course one of the reasons to use Starfish and interventions
with our new students this fall. We hope to see a smaller number of students needing to be on AP.
