  New CGCS Research Brief: Supporting Successful Transitions to High School The transition between middle and high school is a defining moment for students on whether they drop out of school or progress to graduation. This Council for the Great City Schools research brief, Supporting Successful Transitions to High School, attempts to synthesize the existing research and provide a set of recommendations for how schools and school systems can organize themselves to meet these challenges and help students make successful transitions to high school. According to the brief, “Research clearly shows that the transition to high school is a defining moment for both students and schools. Faced with new social and academic challenges, many students struggle to stay on track. The success with which they navigate these challenges often determines their achievement trajectory throughout the rest of high school, as well as their likelihood of graduating. Reforms aimed at improving student outcomes at the high school level should therefore focus on the ninth grade transition as a key window of opportunity for identifying and addressing the root of student failure.“ For more information on this CGCS research brief, click on the URL link listed below.
