Abstract
The mixed methods study investigated how the students' social experiences with peers, community individuals and parents contribute to the academic success within reading, writing, speaking and communication. Students enrolled in AP courses in an urban school present a unique dynamic to the education composition of the modern schooling system. This study sought to understand how students who are high performing in literacy differ from their low performing peers despite learning in very similar conditions. This presents the relationship between non-academic factors of literacy development and the academic performance of minority youth enrolled in AP courses within an urban school.
