In 2005, the percentage of Canton City (Ohio) young adults with some college or an associate degree was 33%. In addition, only 12.5% of its adults had earned a bachelor's degree or higher, and 81% of its students were in poverty. To increase the college population among Canton's poorest neighborhoods, the Canton City School District, Stark State College, the Canton Professional Educators Association and the Stark Education Partnership came together in 2005 to establish Timken Early College High School (TECHS) (formerly known as Canton Early College High School). This report evaluates the graduation data of the first nine classes of the school.
