Session 8: Canton’s Early College High School: Raising Both Student and Community Achievement

Printer-friendly version

This session covers the design, implementation, and results of Canton Ohio’s Early College High School and the impact it has had on both student and community achievement. It will show that an Early College High School where students take both high school and college coursework can raise achievement for all students regardless of race, gender, or income. It will also show that such a school can also send a powerful message about the value of higher education to an urban community where fewer than one in five adults has a college degree.
