This study investigated the impact of poverty, enrollment, and the presence of a 9th-grade transition program on students’ promotion to 10th grade. Promotion to 10th grade is the essential first step toward graduation and is an immediate measure among strategies used to support 9th-grade students. Thirty South Carolina high schools were selected on the basis of their poverty indices. Schools were analyzed in terms of their poverty levels, enrollments, and 10th-grade promotion rate. None of the independent variables were shown to be statistically significant in terms of their impact on promotion to 10th grade, but when poverty was excluded, the results were found to be significant. |
