A portrait of U.S. ECHS There are over 200 Early College High Schools and growing. http://www.earlycolleges.org/Downloads/portrait%20in%20numbers9.pdf
Is there evidence that ECHSs work? Yes. Unlike many schools targeting low-income students, the 92 percent graduation rate (calculated using the U.S. Department of Education’s methodology) for the first sizable early-college high school cohort suggests that the schools significantly reduce typical dropout rates for underserved youths, by more than 70 percent on average.
