Abstract	State legislation launched the California Partnership Academies (CPAs) in 1984. CPAs exemplify the career academy model for preparing high school students to succeed in both college and careers. Career academies are small learning communities within larger high schools, usually enrolling students in grades 10-12. Each year students take classes together, including core academic subjects and at least one career-technical course related to the academy's career theme. A team of teachers works with the same group of students over several years, linking instruction across disciplines and over time. Employers provide internships and other opportunities for students to learn outside the classroom. Several evaluations of career academies in California and elsewhere have found positive effects on students' performance during and after high school (Stern, Dayton, & Raby 2010). Career academies have provided a model for high school reform, and have become an important part of the current Linked Learning initiative in California. Each CPA sends an annual report to the California Department of Education. This profile is drawn from the CPA reports for the 2009-10 school year. It parallels a profile produced five years ago from the 2004-05 reports (Bradby et al. 2007). [For "A Profile of the California Partnerships Academies, 2004-2005," see ED509846.] (ERIC).
