[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Transplant_1]Is "career and tech ed" to provide preparation for more non-college bound students, or students that are not focused on selective colleges[/quote]

Career tech is supposed to be for vocational students and also college bound. 
The focus is not necessarily on competitive colleges, just on getting kids into college with some idea of what they want to do.
Unfortunately, DCPS does a poor job of vocational pathways. Also of preparing students for college. Less than 10% of DCPS graduates actually finish college within 6 years. [/quote]

This seems like a made up number.  Do you have a citation?  How would DCPS know if kids finish college six years after they graduate from DCPS?  Why would they track that information?[/quote]

Of course, they should track this type of information. I am not sure whether DCPS tracks it or some other organization. It is an important metric as it shows how well a school district is preparing its students for college. It was mentioned in a recent Washington Post article on the Coolidge Early College HS program.
You should be able to google it [/quote]
