Takes an even-handed look at the dual-enrollment program, which, from what I know, is nothing all that new to Virginia. This article loosely relates the program to Obama's agenda for education.

A decent look at this shift in high school education. Glod fails to connect it with Federal education policy, other than a vague mention of Obama's 2020 college graduate challenge.

The article looks briefly at a growing trend of offering college courses to high school students through their high school, alluding to the pros and cons of it in a balanced way. Including links to studies mentioned in the article (one of which isn't named) would provide additional necessary information.

It is a good little article, but it does not seem like breaking news. I seem to remember they were doing college credit classes in my small rural high school two score and eight years ago.

Yes. Good sources, balanced report, from a trusted news source.

I think that this is quality journalism because it goes in depth about high school students getting ahead in school by taking college classes. It also uses specific examples of students who are trying to move closer to getting their Associates or Bachelors degree.
