CTE Students Achieve Academic Success:
- During the 1990s, CTE concentrators participated in more rigorous academic coursework, and, when compared with general students, CTE students are taking more and higher level math and science, found the National Research Center for Career and Technical Education (NRCCTE) in a 2003 report.[i]
- CTE concentrators take more and higher level math than their general track counterparts, according to a 2002 National Center for Career and Technical Education (NCCTE) study.[ii]

1. The fourth science course does not necessarily need to be taken in the student’s fourth, or senior, year.
2. Fourth science courses will count in the student’s Hope Scholarship GPA calculation.
Students have some flexibility in meeting the fourth science requirement for high school graduation. Courses can be selected from academic science courses or from approved career technology courses that meet science standards. In some cases, courses selected for the fourth science unit may be used to meet both the science and elective requirements. Courses can be used to meet both science and elective requirements but they DO NOT earn two credits. Students cannot earn two credits for one course. Read More | |
