« Return to topic list

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation asked WestEd to undertake this study of five "small-scale high schools" across the country. Each school's case study — created from survey data, interviews, document reviews and Internet searches — includes a description of the school, general profile of the student body, student performance data and anecdotal testimony from school leaders. Schools profiled include: TechBoston Academy , Dayton (OH) Early College Academy, Northtown Academy(Chicago), Arrupe Jesuit High School (Denver), and High Tech High Charter School (San Diego)
