College classes in middle school? - Jennifer Mrozowski, The Detroit News
Detroit Public Schools' middle school students will earn college credit this fall through a program to help decrease the number of dropouts and better prepare students for high school and postsecondary classes. The school district, which has struggled with low graduation rates, will require all 8,000 eighth-graders to take a college-level life skills class beginning next school year. Students who pass will receive one college credit through the free one-hour online course, being paid for in the first year through a pilot program at the Wayne County Community College District.
