High Schools -- The Commission of the States

HIGH SCHOOLS

Are you searching for ways to reduce dropout rates and improve students’ college and career readiness in the 2010 legislative session?


Looking for ideas on legislation to introduce to keep students in school and on a college-/career-ready track?
Want to know how your high school graduation requirements and assessments compare against those in other states?
Looking for research on the impact of exit exams, rigor in the high school curriculum and dropout prevention?
If so, contact the Education Commission of the States! ECS can answer your questions (often immediately, but if not, typically within 24 hours), and can direct you to:


Trends in state policy on specific areas related to high schools and transitions to postsecondary
Best practices among the states
Information on what the research says (or doesn’t say!)
50-state baseline information on a number of high school indicators.
Let ECS help you as you address 2010 legislation on high schools and transitions to college and the workforce. Contact ECS Senior Policy Analyst Jennifer Dounay Zinth at 303.299.3689 or jdounay@ecs.org.
