Seeing dropout indicators in 1st grade

EdWeek published a story about how data analysis is identifying risk factors for dropping out of school as early as first grade. The story features a report compiled by MCPS on how the system is able to identify warning signs that a student could be at risk of dropping out later in life. The aim of the program is to use these indicators as a guide to creating adequate interventions for these students.
