Dansville REACH launched in the 2007-2008 academic year. Initial results were stunning, with the number of AP exams taken increasing by a factor of four to five times historical rates in Dansville. The number of passing exam scores (scores of 3, 4 or 5) increased by a factor of three to four times historical rates. The number of students participating in AP exams multiplied by about five-fold and the number of students receiving one or more passing score increased by about three-fold.

In May 2008 students took 82 AP exams. In prior years the number of exams taken ranged from 15 to 20. Of those 82 exams 49 achieved a passing score of 3, 4, or 5. In all, 55 students participated, and of those 30 students achieved passing scores.

In May 2012, the most recent year of the Dansville REACH program, over 80 AP exams were taken by Dansville High students.
