In this article, Jacqueline Ancess and David Allen use New York City as a case study to examine the promises and the perils of the small high school reform movement that is sweeping the nation. They analyze the varying extent to which New York City's small high schools have implemented curricular themes in order to promote academic quality and equity. After identifying a wide range in the level of theme implementation in the city's small schools, Ancess and Allen suggest that small theme high schools have the potential to boost student engagement and achievement. However, the authors also express concern about the manner in which curricular themes may serve as socioeconomic, academic, or racial codes that threaten to merely repackage old patterns of school stratification and segregation.

The Early College Initiative (ECI) high schools in New York City provide opportunities to take college-credit courses up to the equivalent of an associate’s degree while in high school. In this study, we measure the association between attending an ECI high school and college persistence. Our sample is the 3,271 students who graduated from New York City public high schools in the ECI network between Fall 2006 and Fall 2013 and enrolled in college. We use survival analysis to measure the relationship between demographic, academic, and behavioral risk factors and persistence of ECI graduates. We find that Black and Latinx students are as likely as White students to persist, when both high school achievement and behavioral factors, such as attendance, are taken into account. Differences in persistence do exist by gender with young women more likely to persist when compared with young men. This study provides empirical evidence that attending early college high schools has the potential to narrow racial and ethnic gaps in postsecondary outcomes.

Aviation Operations

The Civil Aeronautics Administration —New York City Aviation Operations Institute was held on April 6th at La Guardia Field, New York City. It was arranged by Mr. O. P. Harwood, Regional Manager of the First Region of the Civil Aeronautics Administration for ninety-eight selected New York City teachers of aeronautics and school administrators, in conjunction with Dr. Frederic Ernst, Associate Superintendent in Charge of High Schools. The Institute program proved to be valuable to the highest possible degree. Teachers who were unable to take advantage of the opportunity offered to gain increased knowledge of aviation operations will undoubtedly be interested in a report of the activities covered during the course of a busy day.
