Is that unusual? I've heard of other states having similar programs. When I was a teenager in Pennsylvania, my time during the school day was split between highschool and community college (paid for by the state or school district, I don't recall.
It's a good system, though few bothered to take advantage of it. I was one of 4 or 5 kids in my grade that took advantage of the system, even though there were dozens of better students than me who doubtlessly qualified.
- ineedasername 7y agoHigh Schools & colleges near me partner for this sort of thing, though I don't think there's a lot of state funding to support it. It's unfortunate, since data generally shows that students who get a head start in that way are much more likely to graduate.
- kevindong 7y agoThere's a very strong correlation between students who sign up for those kinds of classes and who would've otherwise gone onto the college pathway anyway.
