Below are the reported numbers of students who have earned a four-year college degree within six years of high school graduation.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the one charter network that tracks students from ninth grade:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kipp.org\/\"><b>KIPP Public Charter Schools<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Across KIPP, a network of more than 200 schools with 80,000 students located in multiple states, 38 percent of the students who graduated from a KIPP middle school, or enrolled in a KIPP high school in ninth grade, are earning college degrees. (This number would certainly be higher \u2014 and closer to the rate at Achievement First and Uncommon \u2014 save for KIPP\u2019s radical and model honesty policy of starting the graduation clock earlier to catch any high school dropouts.)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the charter networks that track students from the beginning of 12th grade:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommonschools.org\/\"><b>Uncommon Schools<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: For the New York\u2013based network, the only alumni who have reached the six-year mark graduated from North Star Academy Charter School in Newark. Of the 142 North Star students who reached the six-year mark, 71 earned four-year degrees: a 50 percent success rate. Based on factors such as rising GPA and SAT scores, Uncommon predicts a rising college success rate. For example, of the 80 students in the class of 2013, half graduated this June with a Bachelor\u2019s degree, four years after leaving high school, and 23 percent are still enrolled in a four-year college. This fall Uncommon will have 570 alumni enrolled in four-year colleges; by 2020 Uncommon will serve 22,000 students in grades K-12 and have about 2,000 college-age high school graduates.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.achievementfirst.org\/\"> <b>Achievement First<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The network\u2019s first two graduating classes to reach the six-year mark had only 25 and 19 students. For those students, the college graduation rate was 32 percent, a rate they say has risen rapidly. But their subsequent classes, which have not yet graduated college, have far more students and thus can better represent the network\u2019s success. Achievement First, which has schools located in New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, has 839 students\u00a0currently in college, 314 of whom are upperclassmen. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of those 314 upperclassmen, 162 fit criteria for being on track to graduation. This places Achievement First\u2019s projected six-year college graduation rate at 52 percent.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yesprep.org\/\"> <b>YES Prep Public Schools<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: For this Houston-based charter network, 46.7 percent of the graduates earned a bachelor\u2019s degree. That number is based on 569 graduates who reached the six-year mark, 266 of whom earned four-year degrees by then.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ideapublicschools.org\/\"><b>IDEA Publi<\/b><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ideapublicschools.org\/\"><b>c Schools<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: At this Texas-based network, which got its start in the high-poverty Rio Grande Valley, the rate is 35 percent.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><b><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.noblenetwork.org\/\"> <b>The Noble Network of Charter Schools<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Among the many alumni of this Chicago-based network, the six-year degree-earning rate is 31 percent.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><b><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laalliance.org\/\"> <b>Alliance College-Ready Public Schools<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: At this Los Angeles\u2013based network, the rate is 25 percent.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><b><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/aspirepublicschools.org\/\"> <b>Aspire Public Schools<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: At this Oakland-based network, where the first graduating class was in 2005, the rate is also 25 percent.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a taste of what the front runners are learning: High school grade point averages matter far more than expected, and efforts to bolster GPA in high school give students the persistence skills needed to make it through college.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another key lesson-learned: Like it or not, SAT scores matter a lot \u2014 not just in getting admitted, but also in persisting \u2014 which means pushing high school juniors into extensive preparation work for the test.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the bottom li<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ne of every charter network: Research which colleges work for their kids, and make sure they go there! Higher-ranked colleges do a far better job seeing their students through to a diploma. (In some cases, that range can be dramatic: 90-plus percent success at an elite college, compared with 15 percent or even lower at non-selective universities.) Thus, college counselors do their best to push students to apply for their \u201creach\u201d schools. Among the middle-ranked and lower-ranked universities, some do far better than others at ensuring that low-income students win degrees. So, all the charter networks employ aggressive counseling to keep their seniors away from the lesser-rated institutions. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While college-degree-earning rates may be important, the longer-lasting and still barely noticed development here is the declaration by the KIPPs, Uncommons, Achievement Firsts, YES Preps, and other networks across the country that earning college degrees should be the ultimate accountability measure for their high schools.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is something new \u2014 and potentially revolutionary.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For much more, see <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001EfS_nPvjpN9_I8Vc9Riw3f7KnBmVVjV7bwMJxEWlOFjnVCS0IJ4XFpVPEXxJHF86AGhgywqFJhwOC7o5UrM5398Bh4ioKJMrpzuq-SCXlF8rrKsuitdDOc7PlDpTqmJvHQVx5i8gTNBZUJlz1WUrDn81NFAV9g0auA0ygYmGizzScTG6ckF2iTDfOQvJ5Rcgbd-5lbiv8_gdNK6KaEqlRU0OJHG_Dy_J-NTItVqq-22i9uWmxuiYs3zvR2ujJgXlavcI4F78Gx4Tmbb5ezMjKG2O22cjnE1jvg8Y_LrmpiDMavs_DOmLdXc6mP6PrfR2x4OwljArIIg=&amp;c=pNThg2JA4SzsPsbGNti_iP4oycvtoQY4zd7LXS7nc4agO2qAeObYcw==&amp;ch=jkXHdNmTOJjesaImZAJmIu2AbtMleHDYELRC3FEBi7AEPwmaBK23Gg==\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/\/major-charter-networks-are-leading-a-revolution-as-the-first-wave-of-charter-graduates-earn-college-degrees\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing for The 74, Richard Whitmire explores new data that show charter school students are graduating from college at three- to five-times the national average.
