Early Warning Indicator Systems

States have access to a growing amount of research outlining the indicators that a student is likely to drop out of high school (e.g., poor attendance, high mobility rate, grade retention, etc.). With access to student longitudinal data, states can now develop early warning systems based on these indicators to identify at-risk students on a regular basis and work with districts and schools to help target intervention strategies to the students most in need.
