Use multiple indicators instead of one label.
SolutionsAT-RISK STUDENT SUPPORT
Supporting At-Risk High School Students
The phrase at-risk should describe a situation, not define a student. High schools can use multiple indicators to understand where momentum is breaking down and then organize useful, respectful support.
THE PROBLEM
High-school support breaks down when the student story is fragmented.
Risk can show up across attendance, grades, credits, behavior, relationships, mobility, work and family responsibilities. Looking at one signal in isolation can miss the larger story.
