The author of this brief discusses that racial disproportionality in school disciplinary practices has a long history, and still continues today. In the last three decades, racial disproportionality in school suspensions has increased noticeably, especially in high socioeconomic status (SES) schools. Empirical evidence suggests that exclusionary discipline practices result in further exclusion, school failure, and dropout. Today, nationwide African American students are disproportionately... - 1/1/08 - Harris, L., Ganzlglass, E.
This paper advocates expansion and better integration of efforts to connect high school dropouts between the ages of 16 and 24 to pathways to postsecondary credentials that have value in the labor market. The paper highlights examples of innovations in policy, program delivery, pedagogy in adult education, youth development and dropout recovery, and postsecondary education that should be built upon in developing more robust and successful dropout recovery and postsecondary education policies... - 1/1/08 - Heppen, Jessica B., Therriault, S.

The information that follows and an accompanying tool developed by the National High School Center can help schools and districts to systematically collect early warning indicator data so they can identify students at highest risk of dropout. An early warning system can be implemented at the school as well as at district levels. The role of the state is critical for providing support that can help districts and schools collect the key information with relative ease, including the use of... - 1/1/09 - Balfanz, R., Fox, J. , Bridgeland, J., McNaught, M.

"On-Track to Graduation: The Early Warning Indicators Project (EWIP) began as a two-phase project focused on completing research to identify how early and with which factors we could identify potential dropouts and moving these practices into school-based practice. Now in its third year, the project has become a national demonstration site of Diplomas Now, a multi-tiered dropout prevention collaboration in partnership with Johns Hopkins University, City Year, and Communities in Schools." - 1/1/09 - Tara Tucci
The crisis is neither silent nor invisible: one in three high school students do not graduate,1 and more than half of those dropouts are produced by just 12 percent of high schoolsa-schools commonly known as ―dropout factories,‖ where just 60 percent or fewer of entering freshman progress to their senior year three years later.2 Although it‘s a concentrated problem, with a small number of schools producing a large share of dropouts, it is not a localized one. Dropout factories are... - 1/1/09 - Robert Stillwell
"This First Look report presents the number of high school graduates, the Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR), and dropout data for grades 9 through 12 for public schools during the 2006-07 school year. State education agencies (SEAs) provided the data to the Common Core of Data (CCD) nonfiscal survey." - 1/1/09 - Alliance for Excellent Education,
If the high school students who dropped out of the Class of 2009 had graduated, the nation’s economy would have benefited from nearly $335 billion in additional income over the course of their lifetimes, according to a new issue brief from the Alliance for Excellent Education. According to the brief, The High Cost of High School Dropouts: What the Nation Pays for Inadequate High Schools, more than seven thousand students become dropouts every school day. Annually, that adds up to almost... - 1/1/08 - Smith, S.C., Bost, L.W.
With diligence and the appropriate framework, administrators can create positive change at the local level for both students and faculty, while increasing school completion rates for students with disabilities. - 1/1/08 - Smith, S.C.
As educators and practitioners continue to seek effective interventions to prevent dropout, they must focus on identifying, monitoring, and addressing risk factors that are influenced by teachers (e.g., academic performance, peer and adult interactions, attendance, and behavior). - 1/1/08 - National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities,
