This case study documents the implementation of the Collaborating on Economic Success in Appalachia (COESA) partnership, a consortium of 18 school districts, three higher education institutions, and five partner organizations distributed across four counties in the Appalachian region of Ohio. The partnership's primary goal is to reduce the percentage of students required to take remedial coursework when they enter higher education. They are tackling this goal primarily through better alignment of high school and college curriculum, especially in English and mathematics, and the development of networks of high school and college faculty.
