One of the best comprehensive, research-based ninth grade reform programs to:

• Increase academic achievement

• Reduce failure rates

Too many students begin to experience failing grades, substance abuse, truancy or disciplinary incidents in ninth grade—leading to devastating and lasting consequences. A 2006 survey* of high school dropouts reveals the top reasons for not finishing school as a lack of connection to school, feeling bored and unmotivated, academic challenges, and real-world events.

Building Assets, Reducing Risks restructures your ninth grade—and transforms your entire high school—into a place where students feel connected, engaged, and ready to succeed.
