Why This Is Measured
This helps us understand how well schools are engaging and keeping students enrolled. High dropout rates are a sign that more support is needed to help students stay in school and on track to graduate.
What To Consider
This metric is key to ensuring that schools and families strive for strong communication and relational trust. Barriers that can put a student’s graduation at risk should be shared so that schools can provide resources and/or interventions to mitigate the challenges as much as possible. There are many reasons students may appear in the “dropout rate,” including:
- Health
- Work responsibilities
- Distance from school
- Alternative education programs
- Transferring to a non-CPS school with no verification documentation
