This Inside IES Research blog post highlights findings from a CTE Research Network project examining CTE programs in New York City (NYC). Principal Investigator James Kemple, director of the Research Alliance for New York City Schools, describes the initial phase of the study, which examined the overall impact of 37 CTE-dedicated NYC high schools that are structured to ensure all students participate in a CTE program of study from 9th through 12th grade. The study found that CTE students at the high schools graduated and enrolled in college at similar rates to their counterparts in non-CTE high schools. Therefore, on average, attending a CTE high school in New York City did not steer students away from a college pathway.
