  Running Start - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Running Start program is an effort by the state of Washington to reward high-performing high school students by providing them with early admission to college.
In fairness to the Running Start program's impact on these students, many mid-range students (some of whom struggle with traditional high school teaching methods) are given experience in a college setting as well as a head-start on their own degrees in the next couple years.
Running Start has also provided a method for many determined students with a lack of credits to graduate on-time, and at least some students involved in the Running Start program are there because they have no other possibility of graduating on time.
