How GAPEC students are doing in high school
September 3, 2009
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
The Freshman Year Matters!
On-Track
Absences
Failures Grades
Freshman year framework for predicting graduation
End-of year

Precision Time Available
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)
How is On-Track Related to Graduation?
Additional Freshman Year Information
On-Track
Absences
Failures Grades
Students who fail more courses are less likely to graduate
Additional Freshman Year Information
On-Track
Absences
Failures Grades
Students who are absent or cut too many classes are unlikely to graduate
Additional Freshman Year Information
On-Track
Absences
Failures Grades
Students with low grades in the freshman year are unlikely to graduateVirtually 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
Summarizing the Freshman Year

Question:
How might your work with GAPEC affect this data and your students?
GAPEC On-Track Rate is at CPS AverageGAPEC at Roosevelt is off by about 10%
APMA graduates’ on-track rate was slightly above CPS average,but not at Roosevelt
Bateman graduates’ on-track rate was above CPS overall and at Roosevelt
Marshall graduates’ on-track rates were below CPS average
