14.  To graduate high school and have an easy transition to college  Achieve an associates degree while achieving a high school degree  More specifically focused program  Smaller classes  Rank and sort students SCHOOL PURPOSE

15.  I assumed the school would be 9-12 th and offer college credits.  I did not realize it was only 10-12 th grade and that they only offered specific associate degree programs  I also didn’t realize they would graduate with an associates degree.  I think this school is great for students who have a very specific career in mind.  Based on research I would say this school is progressive, it is very student centered. SO WHAT?
