An Overview of the NYC P-TECH Grades 9-14 Model
MDRC
The NYC P-TECH Grades 9-14 schools are early college and career high schools that are part of a public education reform movement in the United States and across the globe. They aim to prepare students for college and career -- not one or the other -- which is a different approach to contemporary high school reform than many others take. The schools neither screen students based on academic ability nor require interviews for entry. These schools strive to lower many of the barriers that deter students underrepresented in higher education and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields from pursuing these options. A hallmark of the whole-school model is the partnership among high schools, colleges, and industry collaborators: Students take an integrated sequence of high school and college courses with the goal of completing both high school and college, while simultaneously being exposed to hands-on work experiences. This report presents an overview and evaluation of the the NYC P-TECH Grades 9-14.
