In 2005, the Canton City Schools (CCS), Stark College of Technology (SSCT), Canton Professional Educators Association (CPEA) and the Stark Education Partnership (SEP) came together to found Canton's Early College High School (CECHS). The goal of CECHS is to allow students an opportunity to earn both a diploma and an Associate Degree during their high school career. Results reveal that: (1) At 52%, CECHS graduates are outperforming Ohio at 33% and the nation at 10% in Associate Degree attainment; (2) Students with EXPLORE Composite Scores between 14 and 17 are the most successful in CECHS; (3) Both EXPLORE Composite scores and math subject scores appear to have predictability as to who will persist in early college; (4) One hundred percent of CECHS students graduate high school; (5) Ninety-six percent of all entering CECHS freshmen remaining in the Canton City Schools, whether persisting in early college, or not, graduated high school; (6) African American students outperformed white students in successfully earning college credit and Associate Degrees; (7) All first generation college going students who were also on free or reduced lunch who persisted in CECHS earned Associate Degrees; (8) The most successful sub-group in CECHS is the African American female on free or reduced lunch; and (9) Results from the Class of 2009 have impacted Timken's college going, raising it from 27% to 37.1% and added a college completion rate of 10.8%; 2010 will impact both Timken and McKinley.
