Summary: Cardozo High School in Washington, D.C., is a national pioneer in introducing Advanced Placement courses to disadvantaged students. It has found ways to build student skills so that they can begin to get passing grades on the AP exams. One of its star AP teachers, Frazier O Leary, taught the first AP class at Cardozo 10 years ago and, since then, has become a frequent speaker and adviser to school districts around the nation.
