Prevention

• More students fail 9th grade than any other grade (National High School Center, 2007).

• Most high school dropouts fail at least 25% of their ninth grade courses (Letgers & Kerr, 2001).

• Low attendance during the first 30 days of the 9th grade year is strongest indicator of failure (Jerald, 2006).

• National/FPHS data: 10th graders STRUGGLE academically
