'''High Achievement Academy''' (commonly known as '''High Achievement''' or '''HAA'''), is a post-secondary school serving grades 11–12. Located in [[Beachwood, Ohio]] for [[Cleveland Metropolitan School District]] students.

High Achievement first opened its doors in Beachwood, Ohio to 15 [[eleventh grade|juniors]] and 15 [[twelfth grade|seniors]] who attend [[Whitney M. Young High School]] in [[Cleveland, Ohio]] on Monday, August 24, 2009.

High Achievement is an option school established by the [[Cleveland Metropolitan School District]] (CMSD) and [[Cuyahoga Community College]] (Tri-C). High Achievement prepares high school students for technological careers or higher education in a resource-rich learning environment. The program develops the students' academic and technical skills, particularly in English, reading comprehension, mathematics and information technology. Participating students attend their home high school in the morning and are transported in the afternoon for college courses at [[Cuyahoga Community College|Tri-C's Eastern Campus]] in Beachwood until 2:00 pm (students may take classes past the school hours).

High Achievement is similar to another program Tri-C and CMSD opened previously [[High Tech Academy]] open to 10–12 grade students in the [[Cleveland Metropolitan School District|Cleveland Metropolitan]] and [[Warrensville Heights School District]]s. These students will take their classes at [[Tri-C|Tri-C's Metropolitan Campus]].

Cleveland Metropolitan School District and Cuyahoga Community College are sponsors of High Achievement Academy.

==Background==

High Achievement is a dual enrollment program in which high school students in the [[Cleveland Metropolitan School District]] whom attend [[Whitney M. Young High School|Whitney Young High School]] attend a half day of school at Whitney Young and then attend classes on the Tri-C campuses.

Much of the college tuition costs are paid through a state-supported plan entitled Post Secondary Enrollment Options, which allows college level classes to also count toward student's graduation requirements in high school.

The program focuses on computer technology, business and academic core courses. The Cleveland District provides a principal, and the College provides a program manager and together they coordinate programming for school students annually.

There are some entry requirements for the program and all students apply through the guidance counselors.

In some cases, students can earn an [[associate's degree]] at the same time they are earning a high school diploma.

Students may apply to High Achievement in the Spring term of their [[Tenth grade#United States|sophomore]] year.
