Futures Academy 2014–2015
MEMORANDUM September 21, 2015 TO: Board Members FROM: Terry B. Grier, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: FUTURES ACADEMY 2014–2015 CONTACT: Carla Stevens, 713-556-6700 The Futures Academy Program was established in 2012 to create opportunities for students to graduate from high school having earned an associate’s degree or a Level 1 nationally- recognized certification in a high-demand career field. The Futures Academy program gives students the opportunity to fulfill high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning industry certifications, college credits, and an Associate of Applied Science degree by August following their senior year. A sample of students from the Futures Academy 2014–2015 program had significantly higher academic outcomes compared to the average district academic outcomes. Key findings include: The Futures Academy recruitment plan and efforts resulted in a 33 percent increase in enrollment, from 365 students in the 2013–2014 school year to 487 students in the 2014–2015 school year. A higher percentage of Futures Academy students met the College Board readiness standard compared to the district, 28 percent versus 21 percent, respectively. A total of 99 percent of the graduating class qualified for associate degrees or industry certificates in 2014–2015 (52 associate degrees, 29 industry certificates). High-risk students in Futures Academy (defined in this report as economically disadvantaged, at-risk, and non-gifted/talented) had significantly higher PSAT/NMSQT scores and grade point averages than non-Futures Academy high-risk students in HISD. Should you have any further questions, please contact Carla Stevens in Research and Accountability at 713-556-6700. -
