starting in fall 2010, cleveland will become a citywide science, technology, engineering and mathematics (stem) high school, divided into a life sciences and global health academy and an engineering and computer science academy. only 21% of cleveland's 10th graders passed the wasl math test in 2009 and 16% passed the science test, up from 12% and 6.9% in 2008. cleveland's 2010-2011 11th and 12th graders will not be accepted into stem, but will continue to attend cleveland in a general studies program until the transition is complete. the school's 2009-2010 9th graders will be enrolled in stem as 10th graders. a new incoming 9th grade class from throughout the city will be the model for all future stem cohorts. future high schoolers from cleveland's own neighborhood, if they do not enroll in stem, will be sent to nearby high schools. stem enrollment at cleveland is open to any student who will be in the 9th or 10th grade in fall 2010, with no prerequisites. cleveland's school day will be half an hour longer than in other seattle high schools.
