The study by researchers at Harvard University and the University of Virginia (UVA) found the best predictors of success in college science courses to be high school classes that foster mathematical fluency
I would agree that mathematical fluency is the most crucial element for further success in studying science.

Thanks for the link to the group of high schools not (or no longer) offering AP-designated courses. I just searched some of the school sites for their statements about AP tests and searched Andover's site for comparison.

Another interpretation is possible for that group of schools declining to offer AP-designated courses.
