- Students graduate with a high school diploma and some college credits.
- High schools establish the enabling conditions necessary to prepare students for success in a rigorous, well-structured academic program leading to high school graduation with some college credits.
- High schools provide comprehensive student supports based on students academic and social needs.
- High schools demonstrate effective instructional practices.
- High schools engage students, parents, community, business and public agencies in developing and sustaining the schools.
