We supplement our analysis on math and reading achievement with similar analyses of the effects of entering a middle school on the probability of students» not being enrolled in a Florida public school in 10th grade (a
proxy for dropping out of high school by this time) and on being retained in 9th grade (often a strong predictor that a student will leave school prior to graduation).
The Virginia Early Warning System (VEWS) relies on readily available data — housed at the school — to predict which students are at
risk for dropping out of high school; target resources at the school - and division - level to support students not on track to graduate while they are still in school and before they drop out; examine patterns and identify school climate issues that may contribute to disproportionate dropout rates.
Chronic absenteeism is a sign that students are struggling academically and are at higher risk
for dropping out of high school.
States may want to use assessments to validate a particular policy approach in a network of schools, identify students at - risk
for dropping out of high school to intervene before it's too late, or determine which schools need additional supports, resources, and technical assistance.
Massachusetts is one of several states with an early warning indicator system, which flags school officials when students appear to be at risk
for dropping out of high school.
Another recent project, also funded by the department of education, is examining the use of early warning indicator systems to locate and provide interventions for ninth grade students at risk
for dropping out of high school.
Freshman year course performance — more than background characteristics such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, or prior achievement — predict which students with disabilities are most at risk
for dropping out of high school, according to a new report from the National High School Center at AIR and the Consortium on Chicago School Research at the University of Chicago.
The Early Warning System (EWS) Middle Grades Tool was developed by the National High School Center at the American Institutes for Research, in collaboration with Matrix Knowledge Group, to allow users to identify students showing early warning signs of risk
for dropping out of high school.
The Early Warning System (EWS) High School Tool was developed by the National High School Center at the American Institutes for Research, in collaboration with Matrix Knowledge Group, to allow users to identify students showing early warning signs of risk
for dropping out of high school.
The Early Warning Intervention and Monitoring System (EWIMS) implementation process supports the establishment and implementation of EWS for identifying and monitoring students who are at risk
for dropping out of high school.
These youngsters are at high risk for later school failure and behavioral problems,
for dropping out of high school, and for a host of negative life outcomes once they reach adulthood.
Research suggests that children's school outcomes, especially achievement, remain remarkably stable after the first years of school; interventions are more likely to be successful in the early school years; and how children adapt to their earliest school experiences has long - term implications for cognitive and social development and
for dropping out of high school.
