The Importance of Freshman Year: Insights from GAPEC Data on Student Success

This report delves into how GAPEC students transition to high school, focusing on the critical freshman year. We highlight the correlation between on-track performance, including grades and attendance, and graduation likelihood. Key data shows that students with low grades or excessive absences in their freshman year are less likely to graduate. Conversely, a strong academic start increases graduation chances significantly. We explore the implications of this data for educators, emphasizing the need for interventions during the freshman year to support student success.

  1. September 3, 2009 Making the Transition How GAPEC students are doing in high school

  2. Today • Creating a Safe Space • Freshman Year and Graduation • How they are related • Why it is important • GAPEC Data • GAPEC On-Track Data • GAPEC Grade information

  3. The Freshman Year Matters! Freshman year framework for predicting graduation Precision Time Available On-Track End-of year Somewhat Blunt Failures Grades End-of quarter/semester Precise Absences Immediately

  4. Freshman On-Track Indicator “2 Core Fs in Grade 9: Unlikely to Graduate Any Time” • An on-track student has no more than one semester F in a core subject • English, math, science, or social studies • An on-track student has accumulated five full course credits (in any subject) • The number required to move to 10th grade (CPS policy)

  5. How is On-Track Related to Graduation?

  6. Additional Freshman Year Information On-Track Failures Grades Absences

  7. Students who fail more courses are less likely to graduate

  8. Additional Freshman Year Information On-Track Failures Grades Absences

  9. Students who are absent or cut too many classes are unlikely to graduate

  10. Additional Freshman Year Information On-Track Failures Grades Absences

  11. Students with low grades in the freshman year are unlikely to graduate Virtually all students with a “B” average or higher in their first year will graduate in 4 years Virtually all students with less than a “D” average in their first year will fail to graduate

  12. Summarizing the Freshman Year On-Track Failures Grades Absences • Freshman performance is crucial for graduation • Students have to go to class • Students have to get good grades

  13. Roosevelt and GAPEC On-Track Data

  14. CPS: 63% 53%

  15. A more precise prediction of graduation Failures and Grades

  16. {{{ { CPS Average: 63% Difference of 10% GAPEC at Roosevelt Average: 53%

  17. How might your work with GAPEC affect this data and your students? Question:

  18. GAPEC On-Track Rate is at CPS AverageGAPEC at Roosevelt is off by about 10%

  19. APMA graduates’ on-track rate was slightly above CPS average,but not at Roosevelt

  20. Bateman graduates’ on-track rate was above CPS overall and at Roosevelt

  21. Marshall graduates’ on-track rates were below CPS average

  22. Volta graduates’ on-track rates were below CPS average
