Early warning indicators (EWIs) for OFF-TRACK

EWIs identify students who are at-risk for falling off track for post-secondary success as soon as they arrive in 9th grade

The data suggest the following 8th grade Early Warning Indicators (EWIs) are predictive of falling off track in high school

A B C T

Less than 90% attendance 1 or more days suspended out of school 1 or more course failure in English or math Failure on both standardized tests (Reading and Math CMT) Over the course of high school, 83% of students with an EWI ever fell off track for post-secondary success, compared to 37% of students with no EWIs
