By passing a series of tests, students can move on or stay put

Twenty-one high schools in four states are working this fall to restructure their academic programs into "lower division" and "upper division" courses that are aimed at readying all students for community college by the end of their sophomore year.

Students who pass a series of exams, at that point, could leave high school and enroll–without remedial courses–in a two-year college, or stay in high school to take additional technical coursework, or pursue studies that prepare them for a university.
