This report evaluates the High School Preparation Program which was designed to identify, orient and prepare third year intermediate and junior high school students for successful admission to the special high schools in New York City. 200 students participated in the program. Priority was given to those students who were one year or more below grade level in reading or mathematics. The program activities were: after school instruction in reading, mathematics, career education, drama and dance. Students also visited museums, colleges, high schools, office buildings, industrial plants, trade schools, factories, and government agencies. It was concluded that the students in the program achieved 65 percent mastery of a 400 word vocabulary list and demonstrated a month's gain in mathematics grade level for each month in the program. Students showed some improvement on the drama and dance test indicating greater appreciation. Reading improvement was not attained. A copy of the coordinator's report form and the teacher interview form is included in the appendix. (JP)
