High school diplomas don’t guarantee college access. Nearly half of California students who receive a high school diploma are disqualified from public California 4-year colleges and universities before they ever got to 10th grade. While every year of school matters, research proves we need to set students up for success in 8th and 9th grade. These can be make or break years in keeping California students on track. Watch how these California districts are making systemic improvements so their students graduate ready to pursue a world of opportunities.
