The P-TECH model which began planning in 2010 and opened to students in September 2011 joins other models of success with rigorous evidence like career academies, early college high schools, dual enrollments and small schools. P-TECH adds industry involvement. President Barack Obama in the February 2013 State of the Union Address said "We need to give every American student experiences like this".

Merry Christmas #merrychristmas December 25, 2023 THINK LOVE December 25, 2022, when I fell onto the NYC train tracks, it was the love from strangers that got me off those train tracks. I still have work to do. #weareptech #skillsbuild #skillsfirst #skills2030 www.ptech.org P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success Implementation, Impact, and Cost Findings from the New York City P-TECH 9-14 Schools Evaluation https://lnkd.in/ePvdfybi.... Findings The high school, career, and college elements of the P-TECH 9-14 model were implemented at all schools, though there was also variation across the schools in the opportunities they had available and how they implemented specific elements of the model. Graduating with an associate’s degree from the affiliated college is just one of many potential postsecondary options that school staff members may advise a student to take. Students in the P-TECH 9-14 group were 38 percentage points more likely to have had an internship during four years of high school than students in the comparison group. After four years of high school, 46 percent of students in the P-TECH 9-14 group had dual enrolled in at least one college-level course, compared with 20 percent of students in the comparison group. Seven years after entering high school, students in the P-TECH 9-14 group were 5 percentage points more likely to have completed an associate’s degree. These impacts primarily reflect results among young men: 13 percent of young men in the P-TECH 9-14 group completed an associate’s degree, compared with 3 percent of young men in the comparison group. The cost analysis shows that PTECH 9-14 schools can generally be operated with resources that are not significantly different than other high schools in the community. Postsecondary costs were higher for the P-TECH 9-14 group, as would be expected given the model’s focus on earning a college degree. The findings about the model’s cost-effectiveness in producing postsecondary degrees at six years are inconclusive. Additional cost analyses over longer periods are needed.
