Why?
A look at students
Too many 9th Graders do not complete High School – historical trend
68%
Source: One-Third of a Nation (ETS, 2005)
Out of every 100 ninth graders….
Approximately 65 will graduate from high
school
Approximately 39 will enter college
Approximately 26 are still enrolled in the
sophomore year
Approximately 15 will graduate from college
Why do they leave?

The Problems
• Engagement – attending school and completing (graduating) high school
• Achievement – academic (and technical) course taking; grades, test scores
• Transition – to postsecondary education without the need for remediation; and to the workplace
Transition through high school and to college

• Students who anticipate a degree are unlikely to prepare for a career following high school
• More than 50% of students who begin college do not earn a degree
• For students with the lowest high school performance, 86% do not earn a degree

How?
Getting it Done
• Gather the “players” to access the current education and pathways-determine what is in place
• Discuss what else is needed, look for resources, partnerships, etc to get it done
• Some have started with a DACUM for a set of occupations and worked backwards
• Perkins is the catalyst, but not the only resources needed
