Measured Progress in High School

Perhaps the most important finding presented in this report (Measured_Progress.pdf (application/pdf Object)) is that high schools can be reformed in meaningful ways. Among the most important of the reforms is to create smaller high schools that provide a more intimate approach to education allowing rigor to be added to the curriculum without causing lowered grades or increased dropout rates. Smaller schools enable mentoring of students in meaningful ways, a broader approach to curriculum and college preparation, and personally tailored teaching and learning.
