New Study on Attrition in Texas Schools by the IDRA

Take a look at this new study conducted by the Intercultural Development Research Association, a non-profit organziation dedicated to the improvement of public schools for all children.

As a dropout prevention program, Communities In Schools Houston is working hard to make sure kids stay in school. And while we are encouraged by the fact that this study shows the percentage of students who leave school without graduating has decreased, it is alarming that the gaps between white and hispanic and white and black students who drop out continues to increase.
