Abstract | This article describes an academic choice program in Texas public schools where 8th graders are being given a choice of three different academic plans to follow through graduation, two of which are distinctively tougher than the third. Policymakers in Texas, Arkansas, and Indiana are opting to raise academic standards by making a college-prep curriculum the default requirement for all high school students--not just the strongest performers--in an effort to encourage students to take courses that will prepare them for college and the job market.
