West Aurora High School

  23. Goals College Ready. All students will have the opportunity to graduate academically ready to attend college. College Successful. Develop a program of courses so varied that all students will have the opportunity to try their first college course and discover that they can achieve success. College Complete. Provide opportunities for each student to set and achieve a personal college completion goal. This includes completion of career certificates and associate degrees. West Aurora High School

  24. College Ready Nationwide, 60% of community college students take at least one developmental (below 100 level) class and only 25% of those students ever complete a program. Community College Research Center at Columbia University’s Teachers College Two semester developmental English course sequence offered as a Junior English option. Successful students may enroll in English 101/102 as Seniors. Three semester developmental math course sequence offered Junior/Senior year ends with a 4th semester transfer level math course for successful students. Courses are a blend of Common Core curriculum with Waubonsee’s Developmental Education curriculum. The daily high school schedule allows enough instructional time to fulfill both curriculums. West Aurora High School

  25. College Successful Students completing at least one college-level course before graduating from high school are more likely to attend and graduate from college.

  26. College Complete Students in the class of 2017 are eligible to earn an Associate of Science degree with a STEM concentration and graduate from Waubonsee Community College 2 weeks prior to graduation from West. The courses are offered entirely at West Aurora High School and no tuition is charged to families. Currently, students can complete the following career certificates: Firefighter Certificate of Achievement (20 hours), Phlebotomy Technician (9 hours), EMT (9 hours), and CNA (7 hours) prior to high school graduation. Additional completion programs will be available as we move forward. By establishing a developmental education foundation combined with a full general education course sequence, West can now examine areas of concentration that are optimal for our students and community. Together we can build a smooth transition from high school to an educated and employable future for our students. West Aurora High School

  27. Forward Focus West Aurora High School is a 9-12 school offering a 9-14 education. We truly believe that “Every Blackhawk can be a Chief” during their high school years. West intentionally hires teachers with content area master’s degrees in order to increase the courses offered. Waubonsee waives tuition for all courses taught by qualified high school faculty. During the 2012-13 school year, 610 students enrolled in 1117 courses for 3,630 credit hours. This represents an actual tuition savings of $352,110 at the Waubonsee 2012 tuition rate of $97 per credit hour.For 2013-14, enrollment is on pace to double as increasing numbers of students find success in early college courses.
