New studies out of the George Washington University are taking a closer look at a type of high school that is rapidly emerging across the United States: Inclusive, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)-focused high schools (ISHSs). Unlike older, highly selective STEM-focused schools that target students already identified as being STEM gifted/talented, ISHSs develop new sources of STEM talent among underrepresented minority students, and provide them with the means to succeed academically and professionally in a STEM field.
