@kiddie At D’s public HS, it was the student paying for AP exams through her junior year. Senior year, the district offered to pay for them, regardless of need. Great, right? However, the form they asked everyone to use was the free/reduced lunch form, which captures a lot of personal data like household income. As a family, we felt it was weird applying to have D’s AP exams paid for as if we were low income, which we - and a lot of other families - were not. If it’s available to ANYONE taking the exam, regardless of need, why do they want know how much we make? We declined to submit the form and were hounded both with mail and phone recordings for WEEKS to submit the form. It was just…weird. That just confirmed to us that there was some sort of incentive - economic or otherwise - for the school/district to gather our data and that they were not being forthcoming with that fact. We continued to nope out of it and paid the $90.00 in test fees. I have no idea if they continued the practice after she graduated.
