CAMPBELL COUNTY SCHOOLS

“The Tassel is Worth the Hassle!”

Campbell County Schools has worked diligently to prevent students from dropping out of high school. Together as a team (counselors, family resource staff, administrators, and our superintendent) we have collaborated to create a process to lower our drop out percentage.

CAMPBELL COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT RATES:• 2009-10: 2.3%• 2010-11: 1.2%• 2011-12: 0.8%• 2012-13: 0.6%• 2013-14: 0.1%
