Children Not Successful in School
“Children not successful in
school” refers to those children that have not been successful
in reaching educational goals. Evidence suggests that children
who are not successful in school are at greater risk of
experiencing many negative outcomes throughout their lifetime.
Several measurements have been utilized in this section to
determine “success,” including:
·
Absences
·
Dropout Rates
·
FCAT
·
Graduation Rates
·
Suspensions
·
Truancy
