| Abstract: | This new report shows that while some of New York's college readiness programs have grown significantly in the last few years, there have also been some disappointing steps backward. For instance, the Bloomberg administration backed away from an initiative launched in 2000 by CUNY Chancellor Matthew Goldstein and then-New York City Schools Chancellor Harold Levy to improve collaboration between the two institutions and significantly expand college preparedness programs. The landmark initiative included the creation of a new deputy. Goldstein and Chancellor Klein now have a close working relationship, and with many of the Bloomberg administration's education reforms already set in motion, the next four years could be the ideal time for it to commit to programs that ensure students do not just graduate high school, but graduate ready to succeed in college and in careers. This report, based on more than eight months of research and informed by dozens of interviews with local and national education experts and policymakers, documents how large numbers of public school students in New York are finishing high school unprepared for college and examines what New York City and other local governments are doing to address the problem. The study, which is a follow-up to the Center's 2001 report "Building a Highway to Higher Ed," provides a detailed assessment of the main dual enrollment programs being offered in New York, all of which are part of the P-16 (Preschool to "16th grade," or the last year of college) educational movement. Articles in this issue include: (1) School Ties; (2) Head of the Class; (3) Double Trouble; and (4) Held Back.
