Academic Achievement

Evidence-Based Programs
Resources
Websites
Webinars


Research shows that low academic performance, absenteeism, and grade retention are  related to dropping out. Providing academic supports, such as tutoring or enrichment programs, helps address skill gaps and offset a cycle of frustration, and can enrich the academic experience for students who may be bored or disengaged. Academic struggles may also play a role in students feeling alienated from school, so incentives such as leadership opportunities in academic areas or rewards for improved performance may help increase academic and student engagement.
