A years-long push to increase the number of classes Ridgway Secondary School students can take to earn both high school and college credit is paying off, reports the Ouray Plaindealer. Roughly 70% of students are taking at least one college-level course this fall. An expansion in the number of classes for which Ridgway Secondary students can earn high school and college credit is also helping them save on tuition and prepare for higher education. Last semester, 77 of the school’s 108 students enrolled in a concurrent class, earning a total of 594 college credits and saving $81,000 on future tuition costs.
