New High School Concept in Akron Still Means OGT
Students who attend the newly concieved Early College High School in Akron will still need to meet all Ohio high school graduation standards, including the Ohio Graduation Test.
The Akron Public Schools Board of Education approved a plan on Nov. 27 to create a new high school in conjunction with the University of Akron. Students who attend the new school will receive a high school diploma and a two-year associate degree at virtually the same time. The curriculum is geared to career-education students who are not in a college prep track. A similar program has been successful in Dayton.
Students in the high school would earn 60 hours of college credit at the same time they take traditional high school courses. Akron U. would consider applying the hours to a four-year degree. The Early College High School will be geared to students who are likely the first people in their families to attend college. It will be free to students. The district is seeking a grant to support the school.
Up to 60 freshmen may be enrolled in the program as early as next year, according to an article in the West Side Leader community newspaper of Akron.
