Is New England Ready for P-20?

The governor's Commission on Education Finance called for greater data collection on: student test scores, behavior (truancy, suspensions and expulsions), high school graduation, acceptance to two- and four-year colleges and postsecondary education success one year later. At least eight separate programs connect high school students to college: AP courses for advanced students, International Baccalaureate for high achievers, dual enrollment, early colleges for lower-income students, Tech Prep for students in technical fields and private university high schools such as those at Clark and Boston University.
