Did You Know?

Franklin High School, once the school with the largest percentage of students dropping out in NH, has turned itself around thanks to the work of the Achievement in Dropout Prevention and Excellence (APEX) II project. The high school was able to:

  • Identify its most at-risk students sooner with data from its school-wide information system
  • Reduce its discipline rate by 64% in one year by organizing its discipline system
  • Graduate a much higher rate of students by putting into place the RENEW model as well as options for credit recovery
    and, ultimately,
  • Reduce its dropout rate from 16.8% to under 3% in less than four years.
