This Research Brief summarizes the performance of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) students participating in the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Program. Cambridge courses and examinations were offered at 14 MDCPS high schools in 2017-2018. Over 10,500 examinations were taken by M-DCPS students in 28 subject areas in 2017-2018. The number of AICE examinations taken in MDCPS increased by 12% from 2016-2017 to 2017-2018. The District's Hispanic students took 79% of all AICE examinations in 2017-2018. Overall, the percentage of AICE examinations receiving passing scores increased by four percentage points, from 67% in 2016-2017 to 71% in 2017-2018. From 2016-2017 to 2017-2018, the percentage of AICE examinations receiving passing scores increased for all groups of students: by 7 percentage points for White students, by 4 percentage points for Hispanic students and students classified as "Other," and by 2 percentage points for Black students. At the conclusion of the 2017-2018 school year, 76% of eligible M-DCPS students received AICE diplomas, a two percentage point decrease from 2016-2017.
