# 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.
