Ninth Grade Is Key to GraduationClick Image to view video
- Even though we are doing distance learning, 9th grade still counts as much as ever: being on-track, keeping your GPA high and attending school every day.
- An on-track 9th grader is 4 times more likely to graduate on time than an off-track 9th grader; in Oregon, on-track means earning 6 credits by the end of 9th grade.
- Nearly 90% of freshmen who miss less than 1 week of school per semester GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL regardless of their 8th grade test scores.
- Course performance during freshman year of high school is more predictive of whether a student will graduate from high school than race, ethnicity, poverty level, and prior test scores combined.
- Research has consistently shown that students with a 3.0 GPA (or higher) in high school are far more likely to succeed in and graduate from college, and 9th grade is the best time to set that strong GPA for the rest of your high school career.
