BSVD’s Response

to our DropoutsSlide2

Boulder Valley

School District

Excellence & Equity

Intentional focus and work to prevent dropouts and increase graduates

Preliminary results indicate:

Higher retention rate

Increased credit retrieval rate

Declining failure rate at pilot schools

Improved attendance ratesSlide3

What is the significant work that led to these results?

Standards-Based Instructional Practices

Early identification and intervention

Real-time credit recovery

Horizons Program (Centaurus HS)

Options Academy (Arapahoe Campus)

Understanding the relevant researchSlide4

How many students show early warning signs of school disengagement and when does it start?

If they do show these early signs, is it predictive of whether they ultimately drop out or graduate from high school?

Can schools identify and effectively intervene with students showing these early warning signs?

Johns

Hopkins ResearchSlide5

Just

10 absences

can make the difference between being on track to graduation or off-track

Dropouts have

higher levels of suspensions

than others, but this is not as strong a predictor of dropping out as course failure and attendance

This is not just a high school issue

John Hopkins ResultsSlide6

These indicators were predictive as early as 6

th

grade:

When a sixth grader’s attendance dips below

80%

, the student has only a

1 in 6

chance of graduating on time or one year late

Only

20%

of 6

th

graders receiving an

out-of-school suspension

graduated on time or one year late

6

th

graders who failed

Math

or

English/Reading

rarely graduated at all

John Hopkins ResultsSlide7

This research has been replicated in other urban districts like Chicago and also in five Colorado school districts (DPS,

Jeffco

, Aurora, Adams 12 & Pueblo).

THE RESULTS ARE THE SAME
