Diplomas Now benefits students, their schools and communities
Tripling Graduation Rates by Focusing on the ABCs
The chances of sixth to ninth graders graduating from high school triple if we eliminate their early warning signs of poor attendance, poor behavior and course failure.
Diplomas Now focuses on the critical transition time of 6th to 9th grade. Research shows if we can get students safely to 10th grade, their likelihood of graduating increases from about 25 percent to 75 percent.
Diplomas Now ResultsThe following slides show progress over the 2010-2011 school year and over the fall 2011 semester at Diplomas Now partner schools.
The bars show the decline in students identified at the start of the school year for absenteeism, poor behavior and course failure.
Key finding: Schools using the full Diplomas Now model achieved better results after just one semester as schools using a partial model did after an entire school year.

Diplomas Now achieving great early results!
After just one semester, the full Diplomas Now model with teacher teams, small learning communities, coaching and curriculum and extra student support achieves better results than the partial model with just extra student support did after an entire school year.
Decreasing early-warning indicators increases likelihood of graduation in four years.
We are positioned to achieve the 66% decline in early warning indicators and 80% graduation rate projected in the four-year study.
Specific results for schools using the partial Diplomas Now model The following slides show progress over the 2010-2011 school year and over the fall 2011 semester at “legacy” schools, implementing a less comprehensive version of the Diplomas Now model.
The bars show the decline in students identified at the beginning of each school year for absenteeism, poor behavior and course failure.
