Survey Results: AP Coordinator Compensation, Support, and Opinions
This spring, we surveyed AP coordinators to understand their feelings regarding being an AP Coordinator. Over 430 AP coordinators provided their feedback through this survey.
Download a PDF of the Executive Summary
While the coordinator's responsibilities are reported to be extensive, the majority (~56%) of AP coordinators are not directly compensated financially . Surprisingly, respondents that were compensated did not significantly differ from those who were not in their experience as a coordinator.
Coordinator Job Titles
45% of the AP Coordinators that responded are Counselors, 18% are Testing Coordinators ad 18% Assistant Principals
Coordinator Support
The most likely support for coordinators was reported as extra staff support (61%) and accounting/bookkeeping (32%). Coordinators reported using other IT tools to complete their duties, including spreadsheets, like Google Sheets and Excel as well school information systems and school IT support.
Summary
It is clear from the survey results that the essential duties of being an AP Coordinator are time-consuming, stressful, and overwhelming. Most AP coordinators' responsibilities are above and beyond what they were hired to do (they have "real jobs"). While coordinators are unlikely to receive financial compensation for their role, many engage additional staff and technological support to assist with their duties.

Testimonial
We have used Total Registration for two years now and it has been an outstanding experience. We have a large AP program and Total Registration has saved me hours since I no longer have to enter all of the test registration information on spreadsheets. They have reports for things that you don't even realize you need, but have been very useful. If I have any problems, questions or suggestions, they are very quick to help and respond. They are very knowledge about the AP program and very customer focused.
I can't ever imagine having our AP registration without Total Registration.
