9th Grade is The Pivotal Year For Dropping Out of High School

9th grade is such as important year. Our 14/15-year-olds are definitely a focus for us in REACH because how they do in the 9th grade sets up patterns for what the rest of their high school career will look like. All of a sudden passing and failing classes becomes very real. Will they start out strong and be on track, or will they spend the next 3 years trying to catch back up? Either way, we are there to support them through Relationships, Education, Accountability, Character, and Hard work. https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/40578/why-ninth-grade-is-the-pivotal-year-for-dropping-out-of-high-school
