High School Dropout Prevention: From Risk Signals to Support
Dropout prevention works best before a student fully disconnects. High schools need ways to see risk, understand barriers, strengthen relationships, connect students to a path and follow through on support.
THE PROBLEM
High-school support breaks down when the student story is fragmented.
Students rarely disengage because of one isolated issue. Attendance, credits, relationships, work, family circumstances and confidence can interact over time while school responses remain separated across departments.
