To note, the press release references a "federal fee reduction program" so that is one discount available to F/RL students for AP testing. I'm still checking about the state and the district. Results released today by the College Board show that the number of students taking the SAT has remained steady but that PSAT and AP participation has increased.

From OSPI: OLYMPIA — April 13, 2016 — Funds are now available for low-income students who are eligible for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge Capstone program exams, the US Department of Education announced yesterday. Qualified low-income students will now pay $15 per exam. This is a $3 increase from last year’s reduced rate of $12 per exam. There is no limit to the number of exams a student may take. For more information on the program, as well how students qualify for the fee reduction, please visit Advanced Placement .

From OSPI: State AP Scores and Participation Rate Rise Again OLYMPIA — February 24, 2016 — More Washington students are taking and passing Advanced Placement (AP) exams with a score of 3 or higher, according to a report released today by the College Board. That means more students are better prepared for college. And they’re saving money on college credits when they get there.
