High School Improvement
More than one million high school students fail to graduate high school each year. This not only affects the individual and his or her education, but also takes a toll on society and the economy. Improving America’s lowest-performing high schools through the use of proven research, technical assistance, practices, and strategies has become a priority for states, districts, and schools as they work to prepare their students for success in a 21st century global economy that increasingly requires its workers to have some postsecondary training.
