Nearly one-third of students nationwide don’t graduate from high school. Youth with disabilities lag even further behind: Only 57 percent earn their high school diploma. Yet signs of trouble in ninth grade—low attendance, poor grades, and course failure—could arm educators with clues to stem these trends. Meanwhile, strong relationships with teachers and learning leavened with relevance fuel success. Learn how to use on-track indicators to gauge student outcomes. And hear why researchers believe we should target more than just the lowest-achieving students for intervention.
