Preparing High School Minority Students to Become College/ Career Ready: within the Urban Community.

By Dr. Jessica Hudson

The purpose of this study was to determine the various methods that can be used to prepare high school students to be ready to join colleges situated in the urban areas as measured by teacher perceptions at a high school in the United States. The findings included a significant gap in communication among the stakeholders including the parents, students, and participants which is indicative of an increased achievement gap and a high importance was assigned to the Early College Program but there was only minimal importance placed on the involvement of the participants in these college-level courses. Recommendations include improving the awareness of available programs as well as increasing communication and collaboration efforts across the District.
