Why Did Almost 30% of Students Not Graduate in 5 Years?
-
Students must pass their courses and earn course credits to graduate. Local schools determine passing grades in these courses.
-
If students enter 9th grade with serious academic problems (scoring in Level 1 in Math and English), they fail their courses. They are held back and don't take other courses. They don't earn enough credits to graduate.
-
The students who did not graduate were unprepared for high school work and failed their courses.
