Northwest Classen High School (NWHS) has a disproportionately high dropout rate among Oklahoma City & Oklahoma schools. A NWHS counselor has observed that students who dropout often return to the school after 2-3 years & wish to attain a high school diploma, but often are age-ineligible to re-enroll. We hope to facilitate General Equivalency Diploma (GED) preparation & testing.  The GED provides an ‘equivalence’ diploma.

Hispanics are now the most numerous ethnic group in the Northwest Classen Learning Community.  The Computer Learning Center will facilitate English as a Second Language (ESL) online training.
