They forgot to mention how many white/Asian male students took it in those states. I imagine it's not too many in some small states. That would change the headline, but then again, nobody would care about that headline.
- hullo 12y agoThe source data (summary anyway) is linked in the first paragraph: No females took the exam in Mississippi (1 exam taken), Montana (11 exams taken), and Wyoming (no exams). [...] For states that had some females take the exam the percentage female ranged from 3.88% in Utah (4 out of 103) to 29% in Tennessee (73 out of 251). However, 30 of Tenn females can be attributed to a girls only school that offers AP CS A. 11 states had no Black students take the exam: Alaska (21 exam takers -4.3% Black by population), Idaho (47 - 0.9% Black), Kansas (47 - 6.2% Black), Maine (161 - 1.0%), Mississippi (1 - 37.3%), Montana (11 - 0.67%), Nebraska (46 - 4.5%), New Mexico (57 - 3%), North Dakota (9 - 1%), Utah (103 - 1.2%), and Wyoming (0 - 1.2%). http://home.cc.gatech.edu/ice-gt/556 http://home.cc.gatech.edu/ice-gt/556
