High School Success Resources
The intent of High School Success is to improve student progress toward graduation beginning with grade 9, increase the graduation rates of high schools, and improve high school graduates’ readiness for college and career. Eligibility requirements ensure schools and districts put systems into place designed to look at what data they collect and begin the process of improving data literacy. Research suggests that having these structures in place will aid in increasing graduation rates, and ensure high school graduates are ready for their next step. Furthermore, providing time for teachers to look at specific student data, and using that data to inform decisions, will increase the chances that a student will be on-track to graduate on time by the end of grade 9.
