P-TECH’s Impact

While the larger goal is associate degree attainment and a pathway to ongoing college and career, P-TECH schools assess impact across a number of different measures. These measures include key indicators for success across the high school, community college, and industry continuum:

  • Attendance
  • Retention
  • High school performance
  • High school graduation
  • College readiness
  • College performance
  • College degree attainment
  • Internships
  • Job attainment
  • Ongoing college pursuit

Each school’s Steering Committee reviews data on an ongoing basis, beginning in Grade 9, as part of ongoing improvement efforts for the school and for the model as a whole.
