Middle Schools launch 9th grade success -- or struggle
Essential Question:
What aspects of middle school predict that a high school student will be promoted to the 10th grade, without repeating 9th grade?
National research shows that by the end of the 9th grade, students who lack adequate credits and are "off track" for on-time graduation are those most at risk of dropping out.
9th-grade is the make-it-or-break-it year.
