Working together to move Idaho education forward

Thanks to a significant investment from the Legislature, successful implementation by local school leaders, and hard work from our students Idaho is leading the nation when it comes to high school students getting a jump start on their post secondary education.

In 2014-15, Idaho’s 11th and 12th grade students earned more than 100,000 college credits through the state’s Dual Credit program. The early success of this program is a good indicator that we can make progress towards preparing students for college-level work.

What’s even more impressive is the rapid increase in student participation in these courses and tests. In 2014-15 Idaho kids took more than twice the number of Dual Credit courses and Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) tests than they did in 2008-09.
