Online summer economics course sees 97% completion rate

by SCOTT McCAFFREY,Inside NOVA

Efforts to provide support services to high-schoolers taking a summer economics and personal-finance course online appear to have paid dividends, with the 2015 effort seeing a 97-percent completion rate among Arlington participants. Students are required to pass such a course to graduate, and for the past three summers, Arlington Public Schools has offered it online. This past summer, 149 students signed up. It is “a very rigorous course,” said School Board member Abby Raphael, who should know: One of her daughters took the online summer course two years ago.
