“Louisiana students continue to prove they are just as capable as any in the nation,” said Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley. “As we work to reimagine the high school experience, opportunities to earn postsecondary credit play a critical role in ensuring students graduate with the skills to thrive in a career, college, or service.”

Data shows that more students qualified for college credit in 2025 than in 2024 and 2021. Louisiana students took 31,342 AP exams in 2025, as compared to 28,443 in 2021.
