ABSTRACT The data for this article were taken from a multiple cohort. longitudinal evaluation of a school reform experiment termed Project 2000, a cooperative effort of businesses and the Kern High School District of California, designed to improve the quality of education for high school students. The project involved "the forgotten half," those students scoring between the 25th and 65th percentiles on a standardized achievement test, who were usually placed in the general or vocational curriculum tracks. Preliminary results are included for the first cohort, alpha. Our data strongly suggest that. irrespective of race, these average to below-average students can prosper in a more rigorous academic environment, with positive benefits to their academic performance. Midrange minority student" prospered as well as, or better than, White students in a modest curriculum reform that retracked general education students into a college-preparatory curriculum.
